The patch titled mm: improve find_lock_page has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-improve-find_lock_page.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mm: improve find_lock_page From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx> find_lock_page does not need to recheck ->index because if the page is in the right mapping then the index must be the same. Also, tree_lock does not need to be retaken after the page is locked in order to test that ->mapping has not changed, because holding the page lock pins its mapping.
