[S390] pgtable.h: Fix oops in unmap_vmas for KVM processes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When running several kvm processes with lots of memory overcommitment,
we have seen an oops during process shutdown:

The faulting instruction is the storage key operation (iske) in
ptep_rcp_copy (called by pte_clear, called by unmap_vmas). iske
reads dirty and reference bit information for a physical page and
requires a valid physical address. Since we are in pte_clear, we
cannot rely on the pte containing a valid address. Fortunately we
dont need these information in pte_clear - after all there is no
mapping. The best fix is to remove the needless call to ptep_rcp_copy
that contains the iske.
