Subject: [PATCH V2 0/5] NestMMU pte upgrade workaround for mprotect


We can upgrade pte access (R -> RW transition) via mprotect. We need
to make sure we follow the recommended pte update sequence as outlined in
commit: bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax sequence to handle nest MMU hang")
for such updates. This patch series do that.

Changes from V1:
* Restrict ths only for R->RW upgrade. We don't need to do this for Autonuma
* Restrict this only for radix translation mode.

  mm: Update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take vm_area_struct as arg
  mm: update ptep_modify_prot_commit to take old pte value as arg
