The vma->anon_vma of the child process may be NULL because the entire vma does not contain anonymous pages. In this case, a BUG will occur when the copy_present_page() passes a copy of a non-anonymous page of that vma to the page_add_new_anon_rmap() to set up new anonymous rmap. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1052!

This patch is not applicable to this version because of the large version differences. Therefore, fix it by adding non-anonymous page check in the copy_present_page().
