From 419d8c96dbfa558f00e623023917d0a5afc46129 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michel Lespinasse Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 15:01:33 -0800 Subject: mlock: do not munlock pages in __do_fault() If the page is going to be written to, __do_page needs to break COW. However, the old page (before breaking COW) was never mapped mapped into the current pte (__do_fault is only called when the pte is not present), so vmscan can't have marked the old page as PageMlocked due to being mapped in __do_fault's VMA. Therefore, __do_fault() does not need to worry about clearing PageMlocked() on the old page.
