From 016eb4a0ed06a3677d67a584da901f0e9a63c666 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2006 09:48:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] invalidate_complete_page() race fix If a CPU faults this page into pagetables after invalidate_mapping_pages() checked page_mapped(), invalidate_complete_page() will still proceed to remove the page from pagecache. This leaves the page-faulting process with a detached page. If it was MAP_SHARED then file data loss will ensue. Fix that up by checking the page's refcount after taking tree_lock.
