Well, what does "unlocked" mean in the context of rmap_walk_ksm() and rmap_walk_file()? That the caller holds totally different locks. I expect that sitting down and writing out the interface definition for such an rmap_walk_locked() would reveal that we shouldn't have created it. I mean, if the caller is to call such an rmap_walk_locked(), he first needs to work out if it's a ksm page or an anon page or a file page, then take the appropriate lock and then call rmap_walk_locked(). That's silly - at this point he should directly call rmap_walk_ksm_locked()? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
