      tmpfs: fix shared mempolicy leak · 18a2f371
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable.
      
      Commit 00442ad0 ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount
      imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the
      refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went
      on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired.
      This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().
      
      Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
      the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
      mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
      those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of
      calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad0,
      alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.
