From ef2b4b95a63a1d23958dcb99eb2c6898eddc87d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 00:16:35 +0100 Subject: mm: PageBuddy and mapcount robustness Change the _mapcount value indicating PageBuddy from -2 to -128 for more robusteness against page_mapcount() undeflows. Use reset_page_mapcount instead of __ClearPageBuddy in bad_page to ignore the previous retval of PageBuddy().
