Subject: [PATCH] vmalloc: Add __get_vm_area_caller()
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:48:26 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090211044854.969CEDDDA9@ozlabs.org> (raw)

We have get_vm_area_caller() and __get_vm_area() but not __get_vm_area_caller()

On powerpc, I use __get_vm_area() to separate the ranges of addresses given
to vmalloc vs. ioremap (various good reasons for that) so in order to be
able to implement the new caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, I need
a "_caller" variant of it.

Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

I want to put into powerpc-next patches relying into that, so if the
patch is ok with you guys, can I stick it in powerpc.git ?
