Revision 419d8c96dbfa558f00e623023917d0a5afc46129 authored by Michel Lespinasse on 10 February 2011, 23:01:33 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 12 February 2011, 00:12:20 UTC
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.
