Ah, I did not recall all the users of this code until I went to change it. The other user is truncate_hugapages() which will now be used for fallocate hole punch. Truncate like fallocate is an inode operation and there is no specific vma. I can create a pseudo-vma here as well just to pass the flag. I guess that would at least be consistent with the other user. -- Mike Kravetz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
