The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmallocc-allow-vread-to-read-out-vm_map_ram-areas.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Baoquan He <bhe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:19:17 +0800 Currently, vread can read out vmalloc areas which is associated with a vm_struct. While this doesn't work for areas created by vm_map_ram() interface because it doesn't have an associated vm_struct. Then in vread(), these areas are all skipped. Here, add a new function vmap_ram_vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas. The area created with vmap_ram_vread() interface directly can be handled like the other normal vmap areas with aligned_vread(). While areas which will be further subdivided and managed with vmap_block need carefully read out page-aligned small regions and zero fill holes.
