Subject: x86: use the pfn from the page when change its attributes
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1057^2~32
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=626c2c9d065da0cbd9997e112501487958fde690;p=linux-2.6

x86: use the pfn from the page when change its attributes

When changing the attributes of a pte, we should use the PFN from the
existing PTE rather than going through hoops calculating what we think
it might have been; this is both fragile and totally unneeded. It also
makes it more hairy to call any of these functions on non-direct maps
for no good reason whatsover.

With this change, __change_page_attr() no longer takes a pfn as argument,
which simplifies all the callers.
