Subject: mm/memory: remove PageAnonExclusive sanity-check in restore_exclusive_pte()
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 14:22:54 +0100
In commit b832a354d787 ("mm/memory: page_add_anon_rmap() ->
folio_add_anon_rmap_pte()") we accidentally changed the sanity check to
essentially ignore anonymous folio by mis-placing the "!" ... but we
really always only get anonymous folios in restore_exclusive_pte().
However, in the meantime we removed the separate "writable
device-exclusive entries" and always detect if the PTE can be writable
using can_change_pte_writable() -- which also consults PageAnonExclusive.
So let's just get rid of this sanity check completely.
