From 701dfbc1cbdd42b814dd76a885c4b73f97011d08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 21:24:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mm: mremap correct rmap accounting Nick Piggin points out that page accounting on MIPS multiple ZERO_PAGEs is not maintained by its move_pte, and could lead to freeing a ZERO_PAGE. Instead of complicating that move_pte, just forget the minor optimization when mremapping, and change the one thing which needed it for correctness - filemap_xip use ZERO_PAGE(0) throughout instead of according to address.
