[RFC v8 PATCH 5/5] mm: unmap VM_PFNMAP mappings with optimized path

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

 



When unmapping VM_PFNMAP mappings, vm flags need to be updated. Since
the vmas have been detached, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with
read mmap_sem.
