[ Upstream commit3f3673d7d3] If CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE is defined, but neither CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE nor CONFIG_MIGRATION, then non_swap_entry() will return 0, meaning that the condition (non_swap_entry(entry) && is_device_private_entry(entry)) in zap_pte_range() will never be true even if the entry is a device private one. Equally any other code depending on non_swap_entry() will not function as expected. I originally spotted this just by looking at the code, I haven't actually observed any problems. Looking a bit more closely it appears that actually this situation (currently at least) cannot occur: DEVICE_PRIVATE depends on ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_DEVICE depends on MEMORY_HOTREMOVE MEMORY_HOTREMOVE depends on MIGRATION Fixes:5042db43cc("mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory") Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200305130550.22693-1-steven.price@arm.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
