From bae473a423f65e480db83c85b5e92254f6dfcb28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:25:20 -0700 Subject: mm: introduce fault_env The idea borrowed from Peter's patch from patchset on speculative page faults[1]: Instead of passing around the endless list of function arguments, replace the lot with a single structure so we can change context without endless function signature changes. The changes are mostly mechanical with exception of faultaround code: filemap_map_pages() got reworked a bit. This patch is preparation for the next one.
