Subject: [patch 5/7] mm: add vm_insert_pfn
Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 04:28:39 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070113011623.9479.10194.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070113011526.9479.79596.sendpatchset@linux.site>
Add a vm_insert_pfn helper, so that ->fault handlers can have nopfn
functionality by installing their own pte and returning NULL.
