I will resend this patch with Kosaki-san's ACK.

-- 

When I tested following program, I found that mlocked counter
is strange.
It couldn't free some mlocked pages of test program.
It is caused that try_to_unmap_file don't check real
page mapping in vmas.

That's because goal of address_space for file is to find all processes
into which the file's specific interval is mapped.
What I mean is that it's not related page but file's interval.

Even if the page isn't really mapping at the vma, it returns
SWAP_MLOCK since the vma have VM_LOCKED, then calls
try_to_mlock_page. After all, mlocked counter is increased again.

COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case.
This patch resolves it.

This patch is based on 2.6.28-rc2-mm1.

-- my test program --

int main()
{
       mlockall(MCL_CURRENT);
       return 0;
}

-- before --

root@barrios-target-linux:~# cat /proc/meminfo | egrep 'Mlo|Unev'
Unevictable:           0 kB
Mlocked:               0 kB

-- after --

root@barrios-target-linux:~# cat /proc/meminfo | egrep 'Mlo|Unev'
Unevictable:           8 kB
Mlocked:               8 kB
