10

ARGUMENTS

12       vma
13           vma in which the fault was taken
14
15       vmf
16           struct vm_fault containing details of the fault
17

DESCRIPTION

19       filemap_fault is invoked via the vma operations vector for a mapped
20       memory region to read in file data during a page fault.
21
22       The goto´s are kind of ugly, but this streamlines the normal case of
23       having it in the page cache, and handles the special cases reasonably
24       without having a lot of duplicated code.
