[PATCH v3 09/20] mm/migrate: Pass vm_fault pointer to migrate_misplaced_page()

Sat Sep 9 04:06:53 AEST 2017


migrate_misplaced_page() is only called during the page fault handling so
it's better to pass the pointer to the struct vm_fault instead of the vma.

This way during the speculative page fault path the saved vma->vm_flags
could be used.
