Christoph Lameter 4c28f81193 [PATCH] page migration: Fix fallback behavior for dirty pages
Currently we check PageDirty() in order to make the decision to swap out
the page.  However, the dirty information may be only be contained in the
ptes pointing to the page.  We need to first unmap the ptes before checking
for PageDirty().  If unmap is successful then the page count of the page
will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.

This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17.  Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions.  Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages.  Migration of dirty pages can result in the
filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages.

Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping.  Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful.  However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.

The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code
so that this is no longer necessary.
