| |
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
commit f15b9000eb1d09bbaa4b0a6b2089d7e1f64e84b3 upstream.
UML uses the _PAGE_NEWPAGE flag to mark pages which are not jet installed on the host side using mmap(). pte_same() has to ignore this flag, otherwise unuse_pte_range() is unable to unuse the page because two identical page tables entries with different _PAGE_NEWPAGE flags would not match and swapoff() would never return.
