Subject: [PATCH 4.19 41/46] mm: thp: fix flags for pmd migration when split

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Xu <peterx@...hat.com>

commit 2e83ee1d8694a61d0d95a5b694f2e61e8dde8627 upstream.

When splitting a huge migrating PMD, we'll transfer all the existing PMD
bits and apply them again onto the small PTEs.  However we are fetching
the bits unconditionally via pmd_soft_dirty(), pmd_write() or
pmd_yound() while actually they don't make sense at all when it's a
migration entry.  Fix them up.  Since at it, drop the ifdef together as
not needed.

Note that if my understanding is correct about the problem then if
without the patch there is chance to lose some of the dirty bits in the
migrating pmd pages (on x86_64 we're fetching bit 11 which is part of
swap offset instead of bit 2) and it could potentially corrupt the
memory of an userspace program which depends on the dirty bit.
