From: Michel Lespinasse Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 23:01:33 +0000 (-0800) Subject: mlock: do not munlock pages in __do_fault() X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~11482 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=419d8c96dbfa558f00e623023917d0a5afc46129;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git mlock: do not munlock pages in __do_fault() If the page is going to be written to, __do_page needs to break COW. However, the old page (before breaking COW) was never mapped mapped into the current pte (__do_fault is only called when the pte is not present), so vmscan can't have marked the old page as PageMlocked due to being mapped in __do_fault's VMA. Therefore, __do_fault() does not need to worry about clearing PageMlocked() on the old page.
