commit66b2ca0862upstream. It was reported that soft dirty tracking doesn't work when using the Radix MMU. The tracking is supposed to work by clearing the soft dirty bit for a mapping and then write protecting the PTE. If/when the page is written to, a page fault occurs and the soft dirty bit is added back via pte_mkdirty(). For example in wp_page_reuse(): entry = maybe_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry), vma); if (ptep_set_access_flags(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pte, entry, 1)) update_mmu_cache(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pte); Unfortunately on radix _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY is being dropped by radix__ptep_set_access_flags(), called from ptep_set_access_flags(), meaning the soft dirty bit is not set even though the page has been written to. Fix it by adding _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY to the set of bits that are able to be changed in radix__ptep_set_access_flags().

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.
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.
