From 206cb636576b969e9b471cdedeaea7752e6acb33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Wilson Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:49:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mm: factor out main logic of access_process_vm Introduce an internal helper __access_remote_vm and base access_process_vm on top of it. This new method may be called with a NULL task_struct if page fault accounting is not desired. This code will be shared with a new address space accessor that is independent of task_struct.
