Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) 7bc5e747bb userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c
Patch series "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c",
v3.

These patches merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c and make
functions used only inside mm/userfaultfd.c static.


This patch (of 2):

Historically userfaultfd implementation has been split between
fs/userfaultfd.c and mm/userfaultfd.c.

The mm/ part implemented memory management operations, while the fs/ part
implemented file descriptor handling and called into the mm/ part for the
actual memory management work.

This separation is quite artificial and fs/userfaultfd.c does not seem to
belong to fs/ because it's only a user if vfs APIs and like for other
users, for example, memfd and secretmem, the file descriptor handling
could live in mm/ as well.

"Append" fs/userfaultfd.c to mm/userfaultfd and update fs/Makefile and
MAINTAINERS accordingly.

No intended functional changes.
