This can lead to false-positive VM_BUG_ON() in +page_add_file_rmap() if called on compound page from a driver[1]. + +I think we can exclude such cases by checking if the page belong to a +mapping. + +The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is downgraded to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(). This path +should not cause any harm to non-THP page, but good to know if we step +on anything else. + +[1] +http://lkml.kernel.org/r/c711e067-0bff-a6cb-3c37-04dfe77d2db1@redhat.com + +Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
