commit 09cda0a400519b1541591c506e54c9c48e3101bf upstream. If the cmma no-dat feature is available all pages that are not used for dynamic address translation are marked as "no-dat" with the ESSA instruction. This information is visible to the hypervisor, so that the hypervisor can optimize purging of guest TLB entries. This also means that pages which are used for dynamic address translation must not be marked as "no-dat", since the hypervisor may then incorrectly not purge guest TLB entries. Region and segment tables allocated via vmem_crst_alloc() are incorrectly marked as "no-dat", as soon as slab_is_available() returns true. Such tables are allocated e.g. when kernel page tables are split, memory is hotplugged, or a DCSS segment is loaded. Fix this by adding the missing arch_set_page_dat() call.

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.
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.
