[PATCH] [3/16] HWPOISON: Export some rmap vma locking to outside world

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed May 27 2009 - 16:13:41 EST



Needed for later patch that walks rmap entries on its own.

This used to be very frowned upon, but memory-failure.c does
some rather specialized rmap walking and rmap has been stable
for quite some time, so I think it's ok now to export it.
