Subject: [PATCH] vfs: fix find_lock_page_retry() return value parsing
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 16:22:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090403082230.GA6084@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090331150046.16539218.akpm@linux-foundation.org>

find_lock_page_retry() won't touch the *ppage value when returning
VM_FAULT_RETRY. This is fine except for the case

        if (VM_RandomReadHint())
                goto no_cached_page;

where the 'page' could be undefined after calling find_lock_page_retry().

Fix it by checking the VM_FAULT_RETRY case first.
