*	mm/mapping_dirty_helpers: update huge page-table entry callbacks	Thomas Hellstrom	2020-04-02	1	-4/+38
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Following the update of pagewalk code commit a07984d48146 ("mm: pagewalk: add p4d_entry() and pgd_entry()") we can modify the mapping_dirty_helpers' huge page-table entry callbacks to avoid splitting when a huge pud or -pmd is encountered.

*	mm: Add write-protect and clean utilities for address space ranges	Thomas Hellstrom	2019-11-06	1	-0/+315
	Add two utilities to 1) write-protect and 2) clean all ptes pointing into a range of an address space. The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either driver-allocated system memory or pci device memory). The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults, typically on large accesses into small memory regions.
