Treating each PTE as each having their own state instead of having the whole compound mapped completely causes the problem. Refcounting in tail pages is not necessary if the whole compound is either mapped or not mapped at all by a process. Refcounting in tail pages is only necessary if you allow 4k slices to be mapped. -- 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/
