Subject[PATCH 4.12 056/196] powerpc/mm/radix: Properly clear process table entry
Date
4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

commit c6bb0b8d426a8cf865ca9c8a532cc3a2927cfceb upstream.

On radix, the process table entry we want to clear when destroying a
context is entry 0, not entry 1. This has no *immediate* consequence
on Power9, but it can cause other bugs to become worse.

Fixes: 7e381c0ff618 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Add mmu context handling callback for radix")
