[PATCH 1/3] fix page-becoming-writable in do_wp_page

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



do_wp_page_mk_pte_writable was rather broken: page_mkwrite is for shared
pages, whereas the code it was trying to share was for private pages, as
the recent addition of a PageAnon test there has made more explicit.

Sort that out and reabsorb it into do_wp_page: hch and others found that
separation less than helpful.  And page_cache_get on the old_page before
page_table_lock is dropped - nothing else stabilizes the page in there.
