From 03ef83af528899aa339e42d8024b37e2f434fba4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:29:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix for infinite churning of mlocked pages An mlocked page might lose the isolatation race. This causes the page to clear PG_mlocked while it remains in a VM_LOCKED vma. This means it can be put onto the [in]active list. We can rescue it by using try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list(). But now, As Wu Fengguang pointed out, vmscan has a bug. If the page has PG_referenced, it can't reach try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list() but is put into the active list. If the page is referenced repeatedly, it can remain on the [in]active list without being moving to the unevictable list. This patch fixes it.
