[PATCH 5/7] mm: add a flag to indicate we used a cached page

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

 



This is preparation for dropping the mmap_sem in page_mkwrite.  We need
to know if we used our cached page so we can be sure it is the page we
already did the page_mkwrite stuff on so we don't have to redo all of
that work.
