Use vm_fault structure to pass cow_page, page, and entry in and out of the function. That reduces number of __do_fault() arguments from 4 to 1. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
In looking at this I realized that vmf->entry is actually unused, as is the entry we used to return back via __do_fault(). I guess they must have been in there because at one point they were needed for dax_unlock_mapping_entry()? Anyway, looking ahead I see patch 10 removes vmf->entry altogether. :) Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler <redacted> -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
