------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Subject: mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct
Patch series "device-dax: fix unaligned munmap handling"
When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like hugetlbfs and fail attempts to split vmas into unaligned ranges. It would be messy to teach the munmap path about device-dax alignment constraints in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this constraint. Instead, these patches introduce a new ->split() vm operation.
This patch (of 2):
The device-dax interface has similar constraints as hugetlbfs in that it requires the munmap path to unmap in huge page aligned units. Rather than add more custom vma handling code in __split_vma() introduce a new vm operation to perform this vma specific check.
