    mm: pagewalk: allow walking without vma · 488ae6a2
    Steven Price authored
    Since 48684a65: "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.
