Hello Greg,

Can you please consider including the following two patches
in the stable linux-4.14.y branch?
This is to avoid page faults in do_swap_page() on PV guests,
usually seen on __radix_tree_lookup() [1].

f7c90c2aa400 ("x86/xen: don't write ptes directly in 32-bit PV guests")
b2d7a075a1cc ("x86/pae: use 64 bit atomic xchg function in native_ptep_get_and_clear")

Thanks,

[1] - more details on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198497

All the best,
Eduardo Valentin

I'll queue it up, but really, can't you just use the latest userspace
tool on older kernels here?
