[PATCH 2/2] MIPS: don't select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Mon Jul 01 2019 - 11:19:05 EST


MIPS doesn't really have a proper pte_special implementation, just
stubs. It turns out they were not enough to make get_user_pages_fast
work, so drop the select. This means get_user_pages_fast won't
actually use the fast path for non-hugepage mappings, so someone who
actually knows about mips page table management should look into
adding real pte_special support.

Fixes: eb9488e58bbc ("MIPS: use the generic get_user_pages_fast code")
