[PATCH v2 5/5] mm/huge_memory.c: don't discard hugepage if other processes are mapping it

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

 



If other processes are mapping any other subpages of the hugepage, i.e. in
pte-mapped thp case, page_mapcount() will return 1 incorrectly. Then we
would discard the page while other processes are still mapping it. Fix it
by using total_mapcount() which can tell whether other processes are still
mapping it.
