fix "mspec: handle shrinking virtual memory areas"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The vma_data structure may be shared by vma's from multiple tasks, with no
way of knowing which areas are shared or not shared, so release/clear pages
only when the refcount (of vma's) goes to zero.
