SubjectRe: [PATCH] (signoff) ppc64: Fix possible race with set_pte on a present PTE
From
Date
(Same with signoff :)

Ok, here it is. I blasted ptep_establish completely and the macro
thing and changed the function to ptep_set_access_flags() which
becomes also responsible for the flush if necesary.

Overall, I feel it's more consistent this way with the other stuff
in there.

I did the ppc64 impl, the x86 one (hope I got it right). I still need to
do ppc32 and I suppose s390 must be fixed now that ptep_estabish is gone
but I'll leave that to someone who understand something about these things ;)

Here it is, boots on g5 :
