Subject: [PATCH] get_user_pages: kill get_page_map
Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 20:55:31 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0506062054170.5000@goblin.wat.veritas.com> (raw)

Since its birth, get_user_pages has been calling a misguided get_page_map
function.  follow_page has already returned NULL if the pfn is invalid,
we cannot reach an invalid pfn from a validated struct page.

Remove get_page_map, and the messy rewind in get_user_pages to cope with
its failure.  Oh, and could we please call that "struct page *page" like
everywhere else, instead of "struct page *map"?
