[patch 079/135] mm: unmap VM_PFNMAP mappings with optimized path

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

 



From: Yang Shi <yang.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: unmap VM_PFNMAP mappings with optimized path

When unmapping VM_PFNMAP mappings, vm flags need to be updated.  Since the
vmas have been detached, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read
mmap_sem.
