I have a test_and_set_bit(PG_chainlock, page->flags) in page reclaim. Which works fine on SMP. But on uniprocessor, we made pte_chain_unlock() a no-op, so all pages end up with PG_chainlock set. refill_inactive() cannot move any pages onto the inactive list and the machine dies. The patch removes the test_and_set_bit optimisation in there and just uses pte_chain_lock(). If we want that (dubious) optimisation back then let's do it right and create pte_chain_trylock().
