The patch titled Subject: proc: introduce proc_mem_open() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-introduce-proc_mem_open.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-introduce-proc_mem_open.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-introduce-proc_mem_open.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: introduce proc_mem_open() Extract the mm_access() code from __mem_open() into the new helper, proc_mem_open(), the next patch will add another caller.
