Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] export __get_user_pages_fast() function
Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2010 11:28:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C58DE49.1020705@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

This function is used by KVM to pin process's page in the atomic context.

Define the 'weak' function to avoid other architecture not support it
