Subject: [12/16] export __get_user_pages_fast() function
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:49:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111216205043.392878849@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111216205049.GA28030@kroah.com>

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com>

commit 45888a0c6edc305495b6bd72a30e66bc40b324c6 upstream.

Backport for stable kernel v2.6.32.y to v2.6.36.y.

Needed for next patch:

 oprofile, x86: Fix nmi-unsafe callgraph support

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
