From be9b7335e70696bee731c152429b1737e42fe163 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 00:24:21 -0400 Subject: mm: add vm_area_add_early() The existing vm_area_register_early() allows for early vmalloc space allocation. However upcoming cleanups in the ARM architecture require that some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved also very early. The name "vm_area_register_early" would have been a good name for the reservation part without the allocation. Since it is already in use with different semantics, let's create vm_area_add_early() instead. Both vm_area_register_early() and vm_area_add_early() can be used together meaning that the former is now implemented using the later where it is ensured that no conflicting areas are added, but no attempt is made to make the allocation scheme in vm_area_register_early() more sophisticated. After all, you must know what you're doing when using those functions.
