From aee16b3cee2746880e40945a9b5bff4f309cfbc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:48:54 -0700 Subject: Add apply_to_page_range() which applies a function to a pte range Add a new mm function apply_to_page_range() which applies a given function to every pte in a given virtual address range in a given mm structure. This is a generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux idiomatic pagetable walking code in every place that a sequence of PTEs must be accessed. Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen subsystems, for example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated for a virtual address range, and to construct batched special pagetable update requests to map I/O memory (in ioremap()).
