[PATCH 2/2] userfaultfd: Don't BUG_ON() if khugepaged yanks our page table

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

 



Since khugepaged was changed to allow retracting page tables in file
mappings without holding the mmap lock, these BUG_ON()s are wrong - get rid
of them.

We could also remove the preceding "if (unlikely(...))" block, but then
we could reach pte_offset_map_lock() with transhuge pages not just for file
mappings but also for anonymous mappings - which would probably be fine but
I think is not necessarily expected.
