Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] mm: Remove vmalloc_sync_(un)mappings()
Date: Fri, 15 May 2020 16:00:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200515140023.25469-7-joro@8bytes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200515140023.25469-1-joro@8bytes.org>
From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
These functions are not needed anymore because the vmalloc and ioremap
mappings are now synchronized when they are created or teared down.
Remove all callers and function definitions.
Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
Tested-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
