Subject: [PATCH 00/10] Push the vm_fault_t conversion further

This patch series reaps some of the benefits of the vm_fault_t work that
Souptick has been diligently plugging away at by converting insert_pfn()
to return a vm_fault_t.

Eventually, we'll be able to do the same thing to insert_page(),
but there's more work to be done converting all current callers of
vm_insert_page() to vmf_insert_page(), and this patch series provides
a nice clean-up.

Nicolas, I'd like your reviewed-by on patch 1 please.

Matthew Wilcox (10):
  cramfs: Convert to use vmf_insert_mixed
  mm: Remove vm_insert_mixed
  mm: Introduce vmf_insert_pfn_prot
  x86: Convert vdso to use vm_fault_t
  mm: Make vm_insert_pfn_prot static
  mm: Remove references to vm_insert_pfn
  mm: Remove vm_insert_pfn
  mm: Inline vm_insert_pfn_prot into caller
  mm: Convert __vm_insert_mixed to vm_fault_t
  mm: Convert insert_pfn to vm_fault_t
