Subject: ARM: move vmalloc() lazy-page table population
X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc1~8^2~1^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=78900204851708bbe761c3acf641ad60f15c922f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

ARM: move vmalloc() lazy-page table population

Split the vmalloc() lazy-page table population from
do_translation_fault() into a new vmalloc_fault() function.
