stable, really? Why?
Fixes:fb3d824d1a46c ("mm/rmap: split page_dup_rmap() into page_dup_file_rmap() and page_try_dup_anon_rmap()")
and does it even fix a real bug?
As a performance person, who measures likely and unlikely results (the
ftrace ring buffer was sped up by over 50% with strategically placed
likely/unlikely annotation). I find this to be a real bug, and something I
would want backported to the kernels we maintain in ChromeOS (which uses
upstream stable kernels).
Okay, I don't care that much about a "Fixes" annotation.
But I am *pretty* sure that this is not stable material, looking once
again at the stable rules.
Anyhow, thanks for catching this!
