gup just pins the wanted pages(for x86 is 4k size) of user address space in memory. We can't expect the pages have been allocated for user address space are thp or normal page. So we need to deal with them and I think it have nothing to do with kvm. thanks, linfeng -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
