Subject: [PATCH v2] vfs: fix find_lock_page_retry() return value parsing
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 16:35:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090403083559.GB6084@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090403082230.GA6084@localhost>
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. Also do this for the
other two find_lock_page_retry() invocations for the sake of consistency.
