Subject: [PATCH] mm: do not access page->mapping directly on page_endio
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 14:39:24 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1487741964-17913-1-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)

With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page
and it propagates write error to the address space if the IO
fails. The problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which
might be okay for file-backed pages but it shouldn't for
anonymous page. Otherwise, it can corrupt one of field from
anon_vma under us and system goes panic randomly.
