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

 



From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 4f32be677b124a49459e2603321c7a5605ceb9f8 upstream.

After trying to drain pages from pagevec/pageset, we try to get reference
count of the page again, however, the reference count of the page is not
reduced if the page is still not on LRU list.

Fix it by adding the put_page() to drop the page reference which is from
__get_any_page().
