Revision 80409c65e2c6cd1540045ee01fc55e50d95e0983 authored by Jan Kara on 01 February 2019, 22:20:27 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 01 February 2019, 23:46:23 UTC
Currently, buffer_migrate_page_norefs() was constantly failing because
buffer_migrate_lock_buffers() grabbed reference on each buffer.  In
fact, there's no reason for buffer_migrate_lock_buffers() to grab any
buffer references as the page is locked during all our operation and
thus nobody can reclaim buffers from the page.

So remove grabbing of buffer references which also makes
buffer_migrate_page_norefs() succeed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
