But every caller wants/needs to adjust the range if sharing is possible. This is a really long name but how about: void adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long *start, unsigned long *end) I'm open to other names and will update patch with suggestions. -- Mike Kravetz > >> + for (check_addr = *start; check_addr < *end; check_addr += PUD_SIZE) { >> + unsigned long a_start = check_addr & PUD_MASK; >> + unsigned long a_end = a_start + PUD_SIZE; >> + >> + /* >> + * If sharing is possible, adjust start/end if necessary. >> + * >> + * Note that this is the same check used in vma_shareable.
