shmem_get_unmapped_area() provides a functionality similar to __thp_get_unmapped_area() as both allocate a pmd-aligned address. This patchset changes shmem_get_unmapped_area() to call __thp_get_unmapped_area() to share the code. Patch 1 fixes a bug in shmem_get_unmapped_area() first. Patch 2 changes shmem_get_unmapped_area() to call __thp_get_unmapped_area() for sharing the code. This patch-set applies on top of my patchset below. https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/29/560 --- Toshi Kani (2): 1/2 shmem: fix tmpfs to handle the huge= option properly 2/2 shmem: call __thp_get_unmapped_area to alloc a pmd-aligned addr --- include/linux/huge_mm.h | 10 +++++++ mm/shmem.c | 70 ++++++++++--------------------------------------- 2 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
