Content-Disposition: inline; filename=31-driver-util Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 3652 Lines: 127 Allocate/destroy a 'vmalloc' VM area: alloc_vm_area and free_vm_area The alloc function ensures that page tables are constructed for the region of kernel virtual address space and mapped into init_mm. Lock an area so that PTEs are accessible in the current address space: lock_vm_area and unlock_vm_area The lock function prevents context switches to a lazy mm that doesn't have the area mapped into its page tables. It also ensures that the page tables are mapped into the current mm by causing the page fault handler to copy the page directory pointers from init_mm into the current mm.
