Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm: Trial do_wp_page() simplification

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

How about we just make sure we're the only possible valid user fo the
page before we bother to reuse it?

Simplify, simplify, simplify.

And get rid of the nasty serialization on the page lock at the same time.
