+ * that are written to a page table but not for ptes created with mk_pte.
+ *
+ * In hugetlb_no_page, a new huge pte (new_pte) is generated and passed to
+ * hugetlb_cow, where it is compared with an entry in a page table.
+ * This comparison test fails erroneously leading ultimately to a memory leak.
+ *
+ * To correct this behaviour, we mask off PTE_EXT_NG for any pte that is
+ * present before running the comparison.
