Subject: mm/ksm.c: mark stable page dirty
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=337ed7eb5fada305c7d5bf168cf5032f825faddf;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mm/ksm.c: mark stable page dirty

The MADV_FREE patchset changes page reclaim to simply free a clean
anonymous page with no dirty ptes, instead of swapping it out; but KSM
uses clean write-protected ptes to reference the stable ksm page.  So be
sure to mark that page dirty, so it's never mistakenly discarded.
