[RFC PATCH 5/8] mm: Pass 'address' to map to do_set_pte() and drop FAULT_FLAG_PREFAULT

Will Deacon will at kernel.org
Thu Jan 14 12:59:31 EST 2021


Rather than modifying the 'address' field of the 'struct vm_fault_info'
passed to do_set_pte(), leave that to identify the real faulting address
and pass in the virtual address to be mapped by the new pte as a
separate argument.

This makes FAULT_FLAG_PREFAULT redundant, as a prefault entry can be
identified simply by comparing the new address parameter with the
faulting address, so remove the redundant flag at the same time.
