[PATCH 4/4] pfnmap: do_no_page BUG_ON again

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Tue Nov 29 2005 - 11:55:01 EST


Use copy_user_highpage directly instead of cow_user_page in do_no_page:
in the immediately following page_cache_release, and elsewhere, it is
assuming that new_page is normal. If any VM_PFNMAP driver can get to
do_no_page, it's just a BUG (but not in the case of do_anonymous_page).
