But I do like to make it clear that it is related to get_user_pages. get_current_user_pages(), maybe? Hmm, that's harder to grep for both then I guess. get_user_pages_current? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
