From 16bf134840da3920ded1290973c56ec214636f12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 13:52:59 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] compound page: no access_process_vm check The PageCompound check before access_process_vm's set_page_dirty_lock is no longer necessary, so remove it. But leave the PageCompound checks in bio_set_pages_dirty, dio_bio_complete and nfs_free_user_pages: at least some of those were introduced as a little optimization on hugetlb pages.
