From 26ba0cb63cb8df4e45394227f33c938920b11b88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 17:19:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rmap: always add new vmas at the end Make sure to always add new VMAs at the end of the list. This is important so rmap_walk does not miss a VMA that was created during the rmap_walk. The old code got this right most of the time due to luck, but was buggy when anon_vma_prepare reused a mergeable anon_vma.
