[ 092/171] ceph: check PG_Private flag before accessing page->private

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 22 2012 - 16:15:08 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Yan, Zheng" <zheng.z.yan@xxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit 28c0254ede13ab575d2df5c6585ed3d4817c3e6b)

I got lots of NULL pointer dereference Oops when compiling kernel on ceph.
The bug is because the kernel page migration routine replaces some pages
in the page cache with new pages, these new pages' private can be non-zero.
