ARM: 7487/1: mm: avoid setting nG bit for user mappings that aren't present
commit 47f1204329237a0f8655f5a9f14a38ac81946ca1 upstream.
Swap entries are encoding in ptes such that !pte_present(pte) and
pte_file(pte). The remaining bits of the descriptor are used to identify
the swapfile and offset within it to the swap entry.
When writing such a pte for a user virtual address, set_pte_at
unconditionally sets the nG bit, which (in the case of LPAE) will
corrupt the swapfile offset and lead to a BUG:
[ 140.494067] swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 000763b4
[ 140.509989] BUG: Bad page map in process rs:main Q:Reg pte:0ec76800 pmd:8f92e003
This patch fixes the problem by only setting the nG bit for user
mappings that are actually present.
