[PATCH 5/7] mm/x86: Make pud_leaf() only cares about PSE bit
Posted by Peter Xu 1 year, 5 months ago
An entry should be reported as PUD leaf even if it's PROT_NONE, in which
case PRESENT bit isn't there. I hit bad pud without this when testing dax
1G on zapping a PROT_NONE PUD.

Yeah, looks like pmd_leaf() got fixed up because of its involvement in
THP, but PUDs got missed.  This patch also realigns pmd_leaf() and
pud_leaf() behavior, which is important.
