mm/filemap.c: remove bogus VM_BUG_ON

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) · torvalds · commit d417b49fff3e · 2021-11-06T13:30:34.000-07:00
It is not safe to check page->index without holding the page lock. It can be changed if the page is moved between the swap cache and the page cache for a shmem file, for example. There is a VM_BUG_ON below which checks page->index is correct after taking the page lock.
