[RFC][PATCH 4/5] shmem: Avoid segfault in shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Check the hwpoison page flag only if the page is valid in
shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). The PageHWPoison() macro tries to access
the page flags and cannot work on an error pointer.
