From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 4f32be677b124a49459e2603321c7a5605ceb9f8 ] 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().
