commit aac55d75 upstream. With Linux page size of 64K and hardware only supporting 4K HPTE, if we use subpage protection, we always fail for the subpage 0 as shown below (using the selftest subpage_prot test): 520175565: (4520111850): Failed at 0x3fffad4b0000 (p=13,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass ! 4520890210: (4520826495): Failed at 0x3fffad5b0000 (p=29,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass ! 4521574251: (4521510536): Failed at 0x3fffad6b0000 (p=45,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass ! 4522258324: (4522194609): Failed at 0x3fffad7b0000 (p=61,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass ! This is because hash preload wrongly inserts the HPTE entry for subpage 0 without looking at the subpage protection information. Fix it by teaching should_hash_preload() not to preload if we have subpage protection configured for that range. It appears this has been broken since it was introduced in 2008.
