-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Rusty Russell upstream commit: b7ff99ea53cd16de8f6166c0e98f19a7c6ca67ee Impact: intermittent guest segv/crash fix I've been seeing random guest bad address crashes and segmentation faults: bisect led to 4f98a2fee8 (vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets), but that's a red herring. It turns out that lguest never hooked up the pte_update/pte_update_defer calls, so our ptes were not always in sync. After the vmscan commit, the bug became reproducible; now a fsck in a 64MB guest causes reproducible pagetable corruption.
