From: Hugh Dickins Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 21:52:59 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] compound page: no access_process_vm check X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc4~76 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=16bf134840da3920ded1290973c56ec214636f12;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] compound page: no access_process_vm check The PageCompound check before access_process_vm's set_page_dirty_lock is no longer necessary, so remove it. But leave the PageCompound checks in bio_set_pages_dirty, dio_bio_complete and nfs_free_user_pages: at least some of those were introduced as a little optimization on hugetlb pages.
