From c627f9cc046c7cd93b4525d89377fb409e170a18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Steiner Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2008 22:33:53 -0700 Subject: mm: add zap_vma_ptes(): a library function to unmap driver ptes zap_vma_ptes() is intended to be used by drivers to unmap ptes assigned to the driver private vmas. This interface is similar to zap_page_range() but is less general & less likely to be abused. Needed by the GRU driver.
