From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 11:01:32 -0500 From: Dean Nelson Subject: [PATCH 2/4] export zap_page_range for XPMEM Message-ID: <20070827160132.GC25589@sgi.com> References: <20070827155622.GA25589@sgi.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20070827155622.GA25589@sgi.com> Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: akpm@linux-foundation.org Cc: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-mm@kvack.org, tony.luck@intel.com, jes@sgi.com List-ID: This patch exports zap_page_range as it is needed by XPMEM. Signed-off-by: Dean Nelson --- XPMEM would have used sys_madvise() except that madvise_dontneed() madvise_dontneed() returns an -EINVAL if VM_PFNMAP is set, which is always true for the pages XPMEM imports from other partitions and is also true for uncached pages allocated locally via the mspec allocator. XPMEM needs zap_page_range() functionality for these types of pages as well as 'normal' pages.
