      [S390] pud_present/pmd_present bug. · 0d017923

      Git commit 3610cce8 (yeah my own :-/)
      introduced a bug in regard to pud/pmd table entries.
      If the address of the page table refered to by a pud/pmd value happens
      to have zeroes in the lower 32 bits, pud_present and pmd_present return
      false. The obvious effect is that this triggers the BUG_ON in exit_mmap
      because some ptes will not get released on process end.  Worse is that
      the next fault for memory covered by that pud/pmd will allocate another
      pmd/pte table and populate the pud/pmd entry. The old page table
      entries hanging below this entry are lost!
      
      The fix is simple, properly check against 0. The check is added for
      pud_none/pmd_none as well even if these two functions work because
      the invalid bit is in the lower 32 bits.
