    powerpc/nohash: fix pte_access_permitted() · 810e9f86
    Christophe Leroy authored
    Commit 5769beaf ("powerpc/mm: Add proper pte access check helper
    for other platforms") replaced generic pte_access_permitted() by an
    arch specific one.
    
    The generic one is defined as
    (pte_present(pte) && (!(write) || pte_write(pte)))
    
    The arch specific one is open coded checking that _PAGE_USER and
    _PAGE_WRITE (_PAGE_RW) flags are set, but lacking to check that
    _PAGE_RO and _PAGE_PRIVILEGED are unset, leading to a useless test
    on targets like the 8xx which defines _PAGE_RW and _PAGE_USER as 0.
    
    Commit 5fa5b16b ("powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Use pte_access_permitted
    for hugetlb access check") replaced some tests performed with
    pte helpers by a call to pte_access_permitted(), leading to the same
    issue.
    
    This patch rewrites powerpc/nohash pte_access_permitted()
    using pte helpers.
