From c44b674323f4a2480dbeb65d4b487fa5f06f49e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 13:42:09 -0800 Subject: rmap: move exclusively owned pages to own anon_vma in do_wp_page() When the parent process breaks the COW on a page, both the original which is mapped at child and the new page which is mapped parent end up in that same anon_vma. Generally this won't be a problem, but for some workloads it could preserve the O(N) rmap scanning complexity. A simple fix is to ensure that, when a page which is mapped child gets reused in do_wp_page, because we already are the exclusive owner, the page gets moved to our own exclusive child's anon_vma.
