NAME
vm_insert_pfn - insert single pfn into user vma
SYNOPSIS
int vm_insert_pfn(struct vm_area_struct * vma, unsigned long addr, unsigned long pfn);
ARGUMENTS
vma user vma to map to addr target user address of this page pfn source kernel pfn
DESCRIPTION
Similar to vm_inert_page, this allows drivers to insert individual pages they've allocated into a user vma. Same comments apply. This function should only be called from a vm_ops->fault handler, and in that case the handler should return NULL. vma cannot be a COW mapping. As this is called only for pages that do not currently exist, we do not need to flush old virtual caches or the TLB.
