From 41e20983fe553b39bc2b00e07c7a379f0c86a4bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:49:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: limit VM_EXEC protection to file pages It is possible to have !Anon but SwapBacked pages, and some apps could create huge number of such pages with MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS. These pages go into the ANON lru list, and hence shall not be protected: we only care mapped executable files. Failing to do so may trigger OOM.
