From 9d73777e500929b71dcfed16eec05f6760e345a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:58:55 +0200 Subject: clarify get_user_pages() prototype Currently the 4th parameter of get_user_pages() is called len, but its in pages, not bytes. Rename the thing to nr_pages to avoid future confusion.
