From 1d148e218a0d0566b1c06f2f45f1436d53b049b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wang, Yalin" Yalin.Wang@sonymobile.com Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:24:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: add VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() to page_mapcount()
Add VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() for slab pages. _mapcount is an union with slab struct in struct page, so we must avoid accessing _mapcount if this page is a slab page. Also remove the unneeded bracket.
