From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" willy@infradead.org Subject: mm/filemap.c: remove bogus VM_BUG_ON
It is not safe to check page->index without holding the page lock. It can be changed if the page is moved between the swap cache and the page cache for a shmem file, for example. There is a VM_BUG_ON below which checks page->index is correct after taking the page lock.
