Subject: [PATCH] mm: Remove redundant test from find_get_pages_contig
Date: Mon,  7 Jan 2019 12:02:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190107200224.13260-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)

After we establish a reference on the page, we check the pointer continues
to be in the correct position in i_pages.  There's no need to check the
page->mapping or page->index afterwards; if those can change after we've
got the reference, they can change after we return the page to the caller.
