Subject: [patch 28/40] mm: add a VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES flag for vmap
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2020 16:15:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201017231506.vz7J_Eu6T%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201017161314.88890b87fae7446ccc13c902@linux-foundation.org>

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Subject: mm: add a VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES flag for vmap

Add a flag so that vmap takes ownership of the passed in page array.  When
vfree is called on such an allocation it will put one reference on each
page, and free the page array itself.
