The patch titled
Subject: vmalloc: introduce remap_vmalloc_range_partial
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
vmalloc-introduce-remap_vmalloc_range_partial.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: vmalloc: introduce remap_vmalloc_range_partial
We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in vmalloc
space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk that memory
allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so with huge ELF
note segment that exceeds 11-order block size.
Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of remapping
vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space range via vma.
Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across multiple objects, so the
interface that requires vma to cover full range is problematic.
This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives user-space
range as a pair of base address and size and can be used for mmap on
/proc/vmcore case.
remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.
