Re: [PATCH] vmalloc: Add __get_vm_area_caller()

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <hidden>
Date: 2009-02-11 08:22:59
Also in: linux-mm, lkml

We have get_vm_area_caller() and __get_vm_area() but not __get_vm_area_caller()

On powerpc, I use __get_vm_area() to separate the ranges of addresses given
to vmalloc vs. ioremap (various good reasons for that) so in order to be
able to implement the new caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, I need
a "_caller" variant of it.

It seems reasonable reason and this patch looks good to me :)

I want to put into powerpc-next patches relying into that, so if the
patch is ok with you guys, can I stick it in powerpc.git ?
hm.
Generally, all MM patch should merge into -mm tree at first.
but I don't think this patch have conflict risk. 

Andrew, What do you think?
