From 51bfd2998113e1f8ce8dcf853407b76a04b5f2a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Wed, 9 May 2012 23:49:24 +0000 Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix bug leading to deadlock in guest HPT updates When handling the H_BULK_REMOVE hypercall, we were forgetting to invalidate and unlock the hashed page table entry (HPTE) in the case where the page had been paged out. This fixes it by clearing the first doubleword of the HPTE in that case. This fixes a regression introduced in commit a92bce95f0 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Keep HPTE locked when invalidating"). The effect of the regression is that the host kernel will sometimes hang when under memory pressure.
