powerpc: Try to insert the hptes repeatedly in kernel_map_linear_page()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch fixes the following oops, which could be trigged by build the kernel
with many concurrent threads, under CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

hpte_insert() might return -1, indicating that the bucket (primary here)
is full. We are not necessarily reporting a BUG in this case. Instead, we could
try repeatedly (try secondary, remove and try again) until we find a slot.
