Subject: [PATCH] mm: Export follow_pte() for KVM so that KVM can stop using follow_pfn()
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 09:16:19 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210204171619.3640084-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Export follow_pte() to fix build breakage when KVM is built as a module.
An in-flight KVM fix switches from follow_pfn() to follow_pte() in order
to grab the page protections along with the PFN.
Fixes: bd2fae8da794 ("KVM: do not assume PTE is writable after follow_pfn")
