[PATCH] mm: move_pte to remap ZERO_PAGE
Move the ZERO_PAGE remapping complexity to the move_pte macro in asm-generic, have it conditionally depend on __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, which gets defined for MIPS. For architectures without __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, move_pte becomes a noop. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Fix nasty little bug we've missed in Nick's mremap move ZERO_PAGE patch. The "pte" at that point may be a swap entry or a pte_file entry: we must check pte_present before perhaps corrupting such an entry. Patch below against 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, but the same bug is in 2.6.14-rc2's mm/mremap.c, and more dangerous there since it's affecting all arches: I think the safest course is to send Nick's patch and Yoichi's build fix and this fix (build tested) on to Linus - so only MIPS can be affected.
