From 6abb0cfdc1f6a42367a20ac2baf4099fc8af08b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 09:54:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, rmap: fix false positive VM_BUG() in page_add_file_rmap() PageTransCompound() doesn't distinguish THP from from any other type of compound pages. 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.
