The patch titled Subject: mremap: don't do mm_populate(new_addr) on failure has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mremap-dont-do-mm_populatenew_addr-on-failure.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mremap-dont-do-mm_populatenew_addr-on-failure.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mremap-dont-do-mm_populatenew_addr-on-failure.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mremap: don't do mm_populate(new_addr) on failure move_vma() sets *locked even if move_page_tables() or ->mremap() fails, change sys_mremap() to check "ret & ~PAGE_MASK". I think we should simply remove the VM_LOCKED code in move_vma(), that is why this patch doesn't change move_vma(). But this needs more cleanups.
