[PATCH v1 3/5] mm: Fix failure to unmap pte on highmem systems

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

 



The loser of a race to service a pte for a device private entry in the
swap path previously unlocked the ptl, but failed to unmap the pte. This
only affects highmem systems since unmapping a pte is a noop on
non-highmem systems.

Fixes: 16ce101db85d ("mm/memory.c: fix race when faulting a device private page")
