From f6f8ed47353597dcb895eb4a15a28af657392e72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Chao Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:06:58 -0700 Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argument Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument, and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages + nr_mappped_pages). It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area(). The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether map_vm_area() fails or not. This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates its callers accordingly.
