Subject: why are some low-level MM routines being exported?
Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2010 11:27:34 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.1004041125350.5617@localhost> (raw)


  perusing the code in mm/filemap.c and i'm curious as to why routines
like, for example, add_to_page_cache_lru() are being exported.  is it
really expected that loadable modules might access routines like that
directly?
