[PATCH] cleanup vmalloc_fault for 64bit kernel

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

 



64bit kernel won't arrive vmalloc_fault, it's not necessary or possible
to copy the page table from init_mm.pgd. swapper_pg_dir, module_pg_dir
and the process's pgd represent the different virtual address area, and
the tlb exception handler accesses the suitable one directly.
