Commit55c8fc3f49("powerpc/8xx: reintroduce 16K pages with HW assistance") redefined pte_t as a struct of 4 pte_basic_t, because in 16K pages mode there are four identical entries in the page table. But the size of hugepage tables is calculated based of the size of (void *). Therefore, we end up with page tables of size 1k instead of 4k for 512k pages. As 512k hugepage tables are the same size as standard page tables, ie 4k, use the standard page tables instead of PGT_CACHE tables.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
