From 6be5ceb02e98eaf6cfc4f8b12a896d04023f340d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:13:58 -0700 Subject: VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.
