Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 1/2] mm/pagewalk: add walk_page_range_vma()
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 14:19:13 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116171914.298018-1-pedrodemargomes@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025112003-afloat-squall-e39d@gregkh>
From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit e07cda5f232fac4de0925d8a4c92e51e41fa2f6e ]
Let's add walk_page_range_vma(), which is similar to walk_page_vma(),
however, is only interested in a subset of the VMA range.
To be used in KSM code to stop using follow_page() next.
