[PATCH v2 7/8] mm, vmalloc: export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist

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

 



From: Joonsoo Kim <js1304@xxxxxxxxx>

Although our intention is to unexport internal structure entirely,
but there is one exception for kexec. kexec dumps address of vmlist
and makedumpfile uses this information.

We are about to remove vmlist, then another way to retrieve information
of vmalloc layer is needed for makedumpfile. For this purpose,
we export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist.
