[PATCH] calculation of pgoff in do_linear_fault() uses mixed units

From: Dean Nelson
Date: Tue Aug 14 2007 - 07:36:57 EST


The calculation of pgoff in do_linear_fault() should use PAGE_SHIFT and not
PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT since vma->vm_pgoff is in units of PAGE_SIZE and not
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE. At the moment linux/pagemap.h has PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT defined
as PAGE_SHIFT, but should that ever change this calculation would break.
