RE: [PATCH 7/8] mm: consolidate code to call vm_ops->page_mkwrite()

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

 



Hi Andrew,

I forgot to set VM_FAULT_LOCKED bit in do_page_mkwrite() return code, if
we lock the page in do_page_mkwrite(). It triggers deadlock, if
->page_mkwrite doesn't take page lock on its own.

Please replace orignal patch with the patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: consolidate code to call vm_ops->page_mkwrite()

There're two functions which need to call vm_ops->page_mkwrite():
do_shared_fault() and do_wp_page(). We can consolidate preparation code.
