[PATCH] mm/madvise: Move up the behavior parameter validation

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

 



The madvise_behavior_valid() function should be called before
acting upon the behavior parameter. Hence move up the function.
This also includes MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON options
as valid behavior parameter for the system call madvise().

This applies on top of the other madvise clean up patch I sent
earlier this week https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9672095/
