Subject: thp: change_huge_pmd(): make sure we don't try to make a page writable
X-Git-Url: http://rtime.felk.cvut.cz/gitweb/can-eth-gw-linux.git/commitdiff_plain/cad7f613c4d010e1d0f05c9a4fb33c7ae40ba115

thp: change_huge_pmd(): make sure we don't try to make a page writable

mprotect core never tries to make page writable using change_huge_pmd().
Let's add an assert that the assumption is true.  It's important to be
sure we will not make huge zero page writable.
