[patch 5/9] mm: debug write deadlocks

2007-02-04 Thread Nick Piggin
Allow CONFIG_DEBUG_VM to switch off the prefaulting logic, to simulate the difficult race where the page may be unmapped before calling copy_from_user. Makes the race much easier to hit. This is useful for demonstration and testing purposes, but is removed in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Ni
