Previouly drivers have their own way of mapping range of
kernel pages/memory into user vma and this was done by
invoking vm_insert_page() within a loop.
As this pattern is common across different drivers, it can
be generalized by creating a new function and use it across
the drivers.
vm_insert_range is the new API which will be used to map a
range of kernel memory/pages to user vma.
All the applicable places are converted to use new vm_insert_range
in this patch series.
v1 -> v2:
Address review comment on mm/memory.c. Add EXPORT_SYMBOL
for vm_insert_range and corrected the documentation part
for this API.
In drivers/gpu/drm/xen/xen_drm_front_gem.c, replace err
with ret as suggested.
In drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c, handle the scenario of partial
mmap() of large buffer by passing *pages + vma->vm_pgoff* to
vm_insert_range().
v2 -> v3:
Declaration of vm_insert_range() moved to include/linux/mm.h
