From 3c229b3f2dd8133f61bb81d3cb018be92f4bba39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2018 22:37:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Fix map_pages() to not overwrite existing pte entries Fix a long-existing small nasty bug in the map_pages() implementation which leads to overwriting already written pte entries with zero, *if* map_pages() is called a second time with an end address which isn't aligned on a pmd boundry. This happens for example if we want to remap only the text segment read/write in order to run alternative patching on the code. Exiting the loop when we reach the end address fixes this.
