Aneesh Kumar K.V 52c50ca75c powerpc/mm: handle protnone ptes on fork
We need to mark pages of parent process read only on fork.  Numa fault
pte needs a protnone ptes variant with saved write flag set.  On fork we
need to make sure we remove the saved write bit.  Instead of adding the
protnone check in the caller update ptep_set_wrprotect variants to clear
savedwrite bit.

Without this we see random segfaults in application on fork.

Fixes: c137a2757b ("powerpc/mm/autonuma: switch ppc64 to its own implementation of saved write")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
