mm: replace get_vaddr_frames() write/force parameters with gup_flags

2018-12-17T20:55:16+00:00

commit 7f23b3504a0df63b724180262c5f3f117f21bcae upstream.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_vaddr_frames() and
replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in
callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and
hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

mm: fix docbook comment for get_vaddr_frames()

2015-11-06T03:34:48+00:00

get_vaddr_frames() has a comment that's *almost* a docbook comment; add
the missing star so that the tools will find it properly.

[media] mm: Provide new get_vaddr_frames() helper

2015-08-16T16:02:47+00:00

Provide new function get_vaddr_frames().  This function maps virtual
addresses from given start and fills given array with page frame numbers of
the corresponding pages. If given start belongs to a normal vma, the function
grabs reference to each of the pages to pin them in memory. If start
belongs to VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP vma, we don't touch page structures. Caller
must make sure pfns aren't reused for anything else while he is using
them.

This function is created for various drivers to simplify handling of
their buffers.
