This is a rebase with some small changes to Kosaki's "mempolicy memory corruption fixlet" series. I had expected that Kosaki would have revised the series by now but it's been waiting a long time. Changelog since V1 o Rebase to 3.6-rc2 o Editted some of the changelogs o Converted sp->lock to sp->mutex to close a race in shared_policy_replace() o Reworked the refcount imbalance fix slightly o Do not call mpol_put in shmem_alloc_page. I tested this with trinity with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB enabled and it passed. I did not test LTP such as Josh reported a problem with or with a database that used shared policies like Andi tested. The series is almost all Kosaki's work of course. If he has a revised series that simply got delayed in posting it should take precedence. include/linux/mempolicy.h | 2 +- mm/mempolicy.c | 142 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- 2 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) -- 1.7.7 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
