[PATCH] spurious remap_file_pages() -EINVAL
As ->vm_private_data is used as a cursor for swapout of VM_NONLINEAR vmas, the check for NULL ->vm_private_data or VM_RESERVED is too strict, and should allow VM_NONLINEAR vmas with non-NULL ->vm_private_data. This fixes an issue on 2.6.7-mm5 where system calls to remap_file_pages() spuriously failed while under memory pressure.
