From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 23:46:34 +0000 (-0800) Subject: thp: clear compound mapping X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?p=mv-sheeva.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=8dd60a3a65c1b057bf0031d28436d3447a3c545b thp: clear compound mapping Clear compound mapping for anonymous compound pages like it already happens for regular anonymous pages. But crash if mapping is set for any tail page, also the PageAnon check is meaningless for tail pages. This check only makes sense for the head page, for tail page it can only hide bugs and we definitely don't want to hide bugs.
