Re: [PATCH V15 1/6] mm: softdirty: Add pgtable_supports_soft_dirty()

[Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>]

Hi Chunyan,

This breaks the VMA tests. Don't worry it's not exactly an obvious thing.

You can test this via:

$ cd tools/testing/vma
$ make && ./vma

(Currently we also have another breakage too which I'll chase up separately.)

Andrew - Could we simply apply the attached fix-patch?

I know this is in mm-stable now so ugh maybe we'll have some commits where VMA
tests are broken (not nice for bisection), but anyway we need to fix this even
so even if it has to be a follow up patch.

Thanks, Lorenzo
