Commit5769beaf18("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. Commit5fa5b16be5("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
