The patch titled Subject: mm/ksm.c: don't WARN if page is still mapped in remove_stable_node() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-ksm-dont-warn-if-page-is-still-mapped-in-remove_stable_node.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrey Ryabinin aryabinin@virtuozzo.com Subject: mm/ksm.c: don't WARN if page is still mapped in remove_stable_node()
It's possible to hit the WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page)) in remove_stable_node() when it races with __mmput() and squeezes in between ksm_exit() and exit_mmap().
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3295 at mm/ksm.c:888 remove_stable_node+0x10c/0x150
Call Trace: remove_all_stable_nodes+0x12b/0x330 run_store+0x4ef/0x7b0 kernfs_fop_write+0x200/0x420 vfs_write+0x154/0x450 ksys_write+0xf9/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x99/0x510 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
Remove the warning as there is nothing scary going on.
