[PATCH v2 0/9] Use vm_insert_range

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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().
