[PATCH] mm: move_pte to remap ZERO_PAGE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Move the ZERO_PAGE remapping complexity to the move_pte macro in
asm-generic, have it conditionally depend on
__HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, which gets defined for MIPS.

For architectures without __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, move_pte becomes
a noop.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

Fix nasty little bug we've missed in Nick's mremap move ZERO_PAGE patch.
The "pte" at that point may be a swap entry or a pte_file entry: we must
check pte_present before perhaps corrupting such an entry.

Patch below against 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, but the same bug is in 2.6.14-rc2's
mm/mremap.c, and more dangerous there since it's affecting all arches: I
think the safest course is to send Nick's patch and Yoichi's build fix and
this fix (build tested) on to Linus - so only MIPS can be affected.
