From d6692183ac1d8f4a4e4015f9ce9acc2514618e0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 02:29:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix extra page ref count in follow_hugetlb_page git-commit: d5d4b0aa4e1430d73050babba999365593bdb9d2 "[PATCH] optimize follow_hugetlb_page" breaks mlock on hugepage areas. I mis-interpret pages argument and made get_page() unconditional. It should only get a ref count when "pages" argument is non-null. Credit goes to Adam Litke who spotted the bug.
