From ae4d8c16aa22775f5731677abb8a82f03cec877e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lee Schermerhorn Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:13:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mempolicy: fixup Fallback for Default Shmem Policy get_vma_policy() is not handling fallback to task policy correctly when the get_policy() vm_op returns NULL. The NULL overwrites the 'pol' variable that was holding the fallback task mempolicy. So, it was falling back directly to system default policy. Fix get_vma_policy() to use only non-NULL policy returned from the vma get_policy op. shm_get_policy() was falling back to current task's mempolicy if the "backing file system" [tmpfs vs hugetlbfs] does not support the get_policy vm_op and the vma policy is null. This is incorrect for show_numa_maps() which is likely querying the numa_maps of some task other than current. Remove this fallback.
