From a247c3a97a0216b18a46243eda26081f1928ec37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2010 13:05:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rmap: fix walk during fork The below bug in fork led to the rmap walk finding the parent huge-pmd twice instead of just once, because the anon_vma_chain objects of the child vma still point to the vma->vm_mm of the parent. The patch fixes it by making the rmap walk accurate during fork. It's not a big deal normally but it worth being accurate considering the cost is the same.
