ARM: 8579/1: mm: Fix definition of pmd_mknotpresent
commit 56530f5d2ddc9b9fade7ef8db9cb886e9dc689b5 upstream.
Currently pmd_mknotpresent will use a zero entry to respresent an
invalidated pmd.
Unfortunately this definition clashes with pmd_none, thus it is
possible for a race condition to occur if zap_pmd_range sees pmd_none
whilst __split_huge_pmd_locked is running too with pmdp_invalidate
just called.
This patch fixes the race condition by modifying pmd_mknotpresent to
create non-zero faulting entries (as is done in other architectures),
removing the ambiguity with pmd_none.
[catalin.marinas@arm.com: using L_PMD_SECT_VALID instead of PMD_TYPE_SECT]
Fixes: 8d9625070073 ("ARM: mm: Transparent huge page support for LPAE systems.")
