zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with the new vma should be made. Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following: - Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and can use this new routine. - For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call zap_page_range_single(). - Remove zap_page_range.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
