Subject: [PATCH] Conditionally call unlock_page() in hugetlb_fault()
Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 19:35:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101125003501.4884.70261.send-patch@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
Have hugetlb_fault() call unlock_page(page) only if it had previously called
lock_page(page).
Signed-off-by: Dean Nelson <dnelson@redhat.com>
CC: stable@kernel.org
---
Setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y and then running the libhugetlbfs test suite,
resulted in the tripping of VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) in unlock_page()
having been called by hugetlb_fault() when page == pagecache_page.
This patch remedied the problem.
