From 3552935742e0d5f0dafd823736f45bdaa7ba672c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Wool Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 16:15:06 -0700 Subject: z3fold: fix stale list handling Fix the situation when clear_bit() is called for page->private before the page pointer is actually assigned. While at it, remove work_busy() check because it is costly and does not give 100% guarantee anyway.
