commitb0e98aa9c4upstream. pmd/pud_deref() assume that they will never operate on large pmd/pud entries, and therefore only use the non-large _xxx_ENTRY_ORIGIN mask. With commit9ec8fa8dc3("s390/vmemmap: extend modify_pagetable() to handle vmemmap"), that assumption is no longer true, at least for pmd_deref(). In theory, we could end up with wrong addresses because some of the non-address bits of a large entry would not be masked out. In practice, this does not (yet) show any impact, because vmemmap_free() is currently never used for s390. Fix pmd/pud_deref() to check for the entry type and use the _xxx_ENTRY_ORIGIN_LARGE mask for large entries. While at it, also move pmd/pud_pfn() around, in order to avoid code duplication, because they do the same thing.

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.
