[PATCH] export the function kmap_flush_unused.

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

 



export the function kmap_flush_unused.

Scenario:  When graphic driver need high memory spece, we use alloc_pages()
         to allocate. But if the allocated page has just been
         mapped in the KMAP space(like first kmap then kunmap) and
         no flush page happened on PKMAP, the page virtual address is
         not NULL.Then when we get that page and set page attribute like
         set_memory_uc and set_memory_wc, we hit error.

fix:       For that scenario,when we get the allocated page and its virtual
           address is not NULL, we would like first flush that page.
         So need export that function kmap_flush_unused.
