From 28e4d965e6131ace1e813e93aebca89ac6b82dc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 23:31:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] mm: remove_mapping() safeness Some users of remove_mapping had been unsafe. Modify the remove_mapping precondition to ensure the caller has locked the page and obtained the correct mapping. Modify callers to ensure the mapping is the correct one.
