2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Wu Fengguang commit 41e20983fe553b39bc2b00e07c7a379f0c86a4bc upstream. It is possible to have !Anon but SwapBacked pages, and some apps could create huge number of such pages with MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS. These pages go into the ANON lru list, and hence shall not be protected: we only care mapped executable files. Failing to do so may trigger OOM.
