Revision a247c3a97a0216b18a46243eda26081f1928ec37 authored by Andrea Arcangeli on 22 September 2010, 20:05:12 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 23 September 2010, 00:22:39 UTC
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.
