[PATCH v1 8/9] mm/vma: Use unmap_desc in vms_clear_ptes() and exit_mmap()

Liam R. Howlett Liam.Howlett at oracle.com
Tue Sep 9 12:09:44 PDT 2025


vms_clear_ptes() is slightly different than other callers to
unmap_region() and so had the unmapping open-coded.  Using the new
structure it is now possible to special-case the struct setup instead of
having the open-coded function.

exit_mmap() also calls unmap_vmas() with many arguemnts.  Using the
unmap_all_init() function to set the unmap descriptor for all vmas makes
this a bit easier to read.

Update to the vma test code is necessary to ensure testing continues to
function.

No functional changes intended.
