From 8e321fefb0e60bae4e2a28d20fc4fa30758d27c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin LaHaise Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2013 17:56:08 -0500 Subject: aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races.
