Subject: [PATCH] ksm: Revert "use GET_KSM_PAGE_NOLOCK to get ksm page in remove_rmap_item_from_tree()"
Date: Sun, 9 May 2021 22:59:34 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.11.2105092253500.1127@eggly.anvils> (raw)

This reverts commit 3e96b6a2e9ad929a3230a22f4d64a74671a0720b.
General Protection Fault in rmap_walk_ksm() under memory pressure:
remove_rmap_item_from_tree() needs to take page lock, of course.
