[patch 4/6] MMU notifier: invalidate_page callbacks using Linux rmaps

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Mon Jan 28 2008 - 15:31:35 EST


These notifiers here use the Linux rmaps to perform the callbacks.
In order to walk the rmaps locks must be held. Callbacks can therefore
only operate in an atomic context.
