ksm: fix mlockfreed to munlocked
2.6.33-rc1 commit 73848b4684e84a84cfd1555af78d41158f31e16b, adjusted to include 31e855ea7173bdb0520f9684580423a9560f66e0's movement of the unlock_page(oldpage), but omit other intervening cleanups. When KSM merges an mlocked page, it has been forgetting to munlock it: that's been left to free_page_mlock(), which reports it in /proc/vmstat as unevictable_pgs_mlockfreed instead of unevictable_pgs_munlocked, which indicates that such pages _might_ be left unevictable for long after they should be evictable. Call munlock_vma_page() to fix that. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
