From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ksm: remove redundant VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() on stable_tree_search() Patch series "Cleanup and fixup for ksm". This series contains cleanups to remove unnecessary VM_BUG_ON_PAGE and dedicated macro KSM_FLAG_MASK. Also this fixes potential missing rmap_item for stable_node which would result in failed rmap_walk_ksm(). More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): The same VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check is already done in the callee. Remove these extra caller one to simplify code slightly.
