MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This might be a shmem page that is in a sense a file that can be mapped multiple times in different processes at possibly different virtual addresses (fork + mremap). So return the shmem mapping that will allow any arch code to find all mappings of the page. Note that even if page is not anonymous then the page might have a NULL page->mapping field if it is being truncated, but then it is fine as each pte poiting to the page will be remove and cache flushing should be handled properly by that part of the code.
