[PATCHv2 1/5] mm: move get_user_pages()-related code to separate file

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

 



mm/memory.c is overloaded: over 4k lines. get_user_pages() code is
pretty much self-contained let's move it to separate file.

No other changes made.
