From e8788c0cce63e0cc8689a123d1ce0af1e28cd583 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 16:59:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] remove_from_swap: fix locking remove_from_swap() currently attempts to use page_lock_anon_vma to obtain an anon_vma lock. That is not working since the page may have been remapped via swap ptes in order to move the page. However, do_migrate_pages() obtain the mmap_sem lock and therefore there is a guarantee that the anonymous vma will not vanish from under us. There is therefore no need to use page_lock_anon_vma.
