Christophe Leroy f2b67ef90b powerpc/hugetlb: Fix 512k hugepages on 8xx with 16k page size
Commit 55c8fc3f49 ("powerpc/8xx: reintroduce 16K pages with HW
assistance") redefined pte_t as a struct of 4 pte_basic_t, because
in 16K pages mode there are four identical entries in the
page table. But the size of hugepage tables is calculated based
of the size of (void *). Therefore, we end up with page tables
of size 1k instead of 4k for 512k pages.

As 512k hugepage tables are the same size as standard page tables,
ie 4k, use the standard page tables instead of PGT_CACHE tables.

Fixes: 3fb69c6a1a ("powerpc/8xx: Enable 512k hugepage support with HW assistance")

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
