[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: fix !vma in new_vma_page()

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Tue Dec 17 2013 - 01:44:44 EST


BUG_ON(!vma) assumption is introduced by commit 0bf598d8 (mbind: add BUG_ON(!vma)
in new_vma_page()), however, even if address = __vma_address(page, vma); and
vma->start < address < vma->end; page_address_in_vma() may still return -EFAULT
because of many other conditions in it. As a result the while loop in new_vma_page()
may end with vma=NULL. This patch revert the commit and also fix the potential
dereference NULL pointer by Dan. http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=137689530323257&w=2
