From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: mm: allow a NULL fn callback in apply_to_page_range Besides calling the callback on each page, apply_to_page_range also has the effect of pre-faulting all PTEs for the range. To support callers that only need the pre-faulting, make the callback optional. Based on a patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>.
