    badpage: zap print_bad_pte on swap and file · 2509ef26

    Complete zap_pte_range()'s coverage of bad pagetable entries by calling
    print_bad_pte() on a pte_file in a linear vma and on a bad swap entry.
    That needs free_swap_and_cache() to tell it, which will also have shown
    one of those "swap_free" errors (but with much less information).
    
    Similar checks in fork's copy_one_pte()?  No, that would be more noisy
    than helpful: we'll see them when parent and child exec or exit.
    
    Where do_nonlinear_fault() calls print_bad_pte(): omit !VM_CAN_NONLINEAR
    case, that could only be a bug in sys_remap_file_pages(), not a bad pte.
    VM_FAULT_OOM rather than VM_FAULT_SIGBUS?  Well, okay, that is consistent
    with what happens if do_swap_page() operates a bad swap entry; but don't
    we have patches to be more careful about killing when VM_FAULT_OOM?
