Subject: [PATCH 2/2] vmalloc: rename llist field in vmap_area
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2018 03:42:43 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180426234243.22267-3-igor.stoppa@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180426234243.22267-1-igor.stoppa@huawei.com>

The vmap_area structure has a field of type struct llist_node, named
purge_list and is used when performing lazy purge of the area.

Such field is left unused during the actual utilization of the
structure.

This patch renames the field to a more generic "area_list", to allow for
utilization outside of the purging phase.

Since the purging happens after the vmap_area is dismissed, its use is
mutually exclusive with any use performed while the area is allocated.
