Subject[PATCH 1/2] shmem: export shmem_unlock_mapping
Date
By exporting this function, drivers can mark/unmark a shmemfs address
space as unevictable in the following way: 1. mark an address space as
unevictable with mapping_set_unevictable(), pages in the address space
will be moved to unevictable list in vmscan. 2. mark an address space
evictable with mapping_clear_unevictable(), and move these pages back to
evictable list with shmem_unlock_mapping().
