[ Upstream commit 90a3e375d324b2255b83e3dd29e99e2b05d82aaf ]
Since commit 42e4089c7890 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged
high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings"), when the first pfn modify is not allowed,
we would break the loop with pte unchanged. Then the wrong pte - 1 would
be passed to pte_unmap_unlock.
Andi said:
"While the fix is correct, I'm not sure if it actually is a real bug.
Is there any architecture that would do something else than unlocking
the underlying page? If it's just the underlying page then it should
be always the same page, so no bug"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
