[patch 1/6] mm: debug check for the fault vs invalidate race

From: Nick Piggin
Date: Tue Feb 20 2007 - 23:50:38 EST


Add a bugcheck for Andrea's pagefault vs invalidate race. This is triggerable
for both linear and nonlinear pages with a userspace test harness (using
direct IO and truncate, respectively).
