From fafaa4264eba49fd10695c193a82760558d093f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naoya Horiguchi Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:27:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] pagewalk: improve vma handling Current implementation of page table walker has a fundamental problem in vma handling, which started when we tried to handle vma(VM_HUGETLB). Because it's done in pgd loop, considering vma boundary makes code complicated and bug-prone. From the users viewpoint, some user checks some vma-related condition to determine whether the user really does page walk over the vma. In order to solve these, this patch moves vma check outside pgd loop and introduce a new callback ->test_walk(). Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi Acked-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Cc: "Kirill A.
