    x86/mm: Remove extra filtering in pageattr code · 1a54420a
    Dave Hansen authored
    The pageattr code has a mode where it can set or clear PTE bits in
    existing PTEs, so the page protections of the *new* PTEs come from
    one of two places:
    
      1. The set/clear masks: cpa->mask_clr / cpa->mask_set
      2. The existing PTE
    
    We filter ->mask_set/clr for supported PTE bits at entry to
    __change_page_attr() so we never need to filter them again.
    
    The only other place permissions can come from is an existing PTE
    and those already presumably have good bits.  We do not need to filter
    them again.
