Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Remove internal use of 'write_access' in mm/memory.c
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 08:43:11 -0700
The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a
single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set
flags like "you can return a retry error" etc.
And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the
top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the
'write_access' boolean around.
This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags'
variable instead. The 'write_access' calling convention still exists
for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next.
