Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Simplify /proc/$pid/maps implementation
From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org>
Back in 2005, we merged a patch from Akamai that sped up /proc/$pid/maps
by using f_version to stash the user virtual address that we'd just
displayed. That wasn't necessary; we can just use the private *ppos for
the same purpose. There have also been some other odd choices made over
the years that use the seq_file infrastructure in some non-idiomatic ways.
Tested by using 'dd' with various different 'bs=' parameters to check that
calling ->start, ->stop and ->next at various offsets work as expected.
Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (5):
proc: Inline vma_stop into m_stop
proc: remove m_cache_vma
proc: Use ppos instead of m->version
seq_file: Remove m->version
proc: Inline m_next_vma into m_next
