[PATCH v15 12/23] mm: pagewalk: Allow walking without vma

From: Steven Price
Date: Fri Nov 01 2019 - 10:10:36 EST


Since 48684a65b4e3: "mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range
for vma(VM_PFNMAP)", page_table_walk() will report any kernel area as
a hole, because it lacks a vma.

This means each arch has re-implemented page table walking when needed,
for example in the per-arch ptdump walker.

Remove the requirement to have a vma in the generic code and add a new
function walk_page_range_novma() which ignores the VMAs and simply walks
the page tables.
