oh crap, I'd forgotten that test_clear_page_dirty() now fiddles with the ptes.
I'd be really surprised if this was all due to a race though. Is everyone who has observed this problem running SMP and/or premptible kernels?
Peter, why isn't that proposed patch's cleaning of the pte racy against do_wp_page()? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
