Long descriptors on ARM are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast. For example: gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1); where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int. Functions such as huge_pte_write also perform a downcast to unsigned long (which is 32 bits). This patch adds a double logical invert to all the pte_ accessors to ensure predictable downcasting.
