Subject: Fix bogus get_page() calls in hugepage code
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 14:12:31 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040416041231.GB13552@zax> (raw)

Andrew, please apply:

On some archs the functions used to implement follow_page() for
hugepages do a get_page().  This is unlike the normal-page path for
follow_page(), so presumably a bug.  This patch fixes it.
