From: Nitin Gupta nitin.m.gupta@oracle.com
[ Upstream commit 70f3c8b7c2e7ebcdde8354da004872e7c9184e97 ]
For a PUD hugepage entry, we need to propagate bits [32:22] from virtual address to resolve at 4M granularity. However, the current code was incorrectly propagating bits [29:19]. This bug can cause incorrect data to be returned for pages backed with 16G hugepages.
