[PATCH v8 20/22] xip: Add xip_zero_page_range

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Tue Jul 22 2014 - 15:53:33 EST


This new function allows us to support hole-punch for XIP files by zeroing
a partial page, as opposed to the xip_truncate_page() function which can
only truncate to the end of the page. Reimplement xip_truncate_page() as
a macro that calls xip_zero_page_range().
