Hi all,

After merging the kvm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

ERROR: modpost: ".follow_pte" [arch/powerpc/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!

Caused by commit

bd2fae8da794 ("KVM: do not assume PTE is writable after follow_pfn")

follow_pte is not EXPORTed.

I have used the kvm tree from next-20210204 for today.


Stephen, can you squash in the following for the time being?

diff --git a/mm/memory.c b/mm/memory.c
index feff48e1465a..15cbd10afd59 100644
--- a/mm/memory.c

}

/**
* follow_pfn - look up PFN at a user virtual address

A similar patch has been posted already, but Jason Gunthorpe asked to add some kerneldoc comments. Therefore it will not be in kvm/next for a few more days.
