    arm64: Ensure pmd_present() returns false after pmd_mknotpresent() · 5bb1cc0f
    Catalin Marinas authored
    Currently, pmd_present() only checks for a non-zero value, returning
    true even after pmd_mknotpresent() (which only clears the type bits).
    This patch converts pmd_present() to using pte_present(), similar to the
    other pmd_*() checks. As a side effect, it will return true for
    PROT_NONE mappings, though they are not yet used by the kernel with
    transparent huge pages.
    
    For consistency, also change pmd_mknotpresent() to only clear the
    PMD_SECT_VALID bit, even though the PMD_TABLE_BIT is already 0 for block
    mappings (no functional change). The unused PMD_SECT_PROT_NONE
    definition is removed as transparent huge pages use the pte page prot
    values.
