From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 03:46:02 +0000 (-0800) Subject: Allow arbitrary shared PFNMAP's X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb155c1619f056ae9765eed272cd6aba6e1a7399;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git Allow arbitrary shared PFNMAP's A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has gone through COW or not. This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping" logic for the common case.
