[patch 1/3] mm: fix pageref leak in do_swap_page()

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Mon Apr 20 2009 - 16:26:37 EST


By the time the memory cgroup code is notified about a swapin we
already hold a reference on the fault page.

If the cgroup callback fails make sure to unlock AND release the page
or we leak the reference.
