[PATCH 3/3] mmu_notifier: Add the call-back for mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()

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

 



From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Now that the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() calls are in
place, add the call-back to allow subsystems to register
against it.
