From 57250a5bf0f6ff68dc339572adbd881a11f366fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 17:19:52 -0700 Subject: mmu-notifiers: remove mmu notifier calls in apply_to_page_range() It is not appropriate for apply_to_page_range() to directly call any mmu notifiers, because it is a general purpose function whose effect depends on what context it is called in and what the callback function does. In particular, if it is being used as part of an mmu notifier implementation, the recursive calls can be particularly problematic. It is up to apply_to_page_range's caller to do any notifier calls if necessary. It does not affect any in-tree users because they all operate on init_mm, and mmu notifiers only pertain to usermode mappings.
