From ab941e0fff3947b6dcc9c578d918d1bba54a6874 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naoya Horiguchi Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 14:06:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rmap: remove anon_vma check in page_address_in_vma() Currently page_address_in_vma() compares vma->anon_vma and page_anon_vma(page) for parameter check, but in 2.6.34 a vma can have multiple anon_vmas with anon_vma_chain, so current check does not work. (For anonymous page shared by multiple processes, some verified (page,vma) pairs return -EFAULT wrongly.) We can go to checking all anon_vmas in the "same_vma" chain, but it needs to meet lock requirement. Instead, we can remove anon_vma check safely because page_address_in_vma() assumes that page and vma are already checked to belong to the identical process.
