Subject: [PATCH] hmm/test: remove unused dmirror_zero_page
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 14:38:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200914213801.16520-1-rcampbell@nvidia.com> (raw)

The variable dmirror_zero_page is unused in the HMM self test driver
which was probably intended to demonstrate how a driver could use
migrate_vma_setup() to share a single read-only device private zero page
similar to how the CPU does. However, this isn't needed for the self tests
so remove it.

Signed-off-by: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com>

This applies to linux-mm and is intended for Andrew Morton's git tree.
