    mm: introduce page_needs_cow_for_dma() for deciding whether cow · 97a7e473
    Peter Xu authored
    We've got quite a few places (pte, pmd, pud) that explicitly checked
    against whether we should break the cow right now during fork().  It's
    easier to provide a helper, especially before we work the same thing on
    hugetlbfs.
    
    Since we'll reference is_cow_mapping() in mm.h, move it there too.
    Actually it suites mm.h more since internal.h is mm/ only, but mm.h is
    exported to the whole kernel.  With that we should expect another patch to
    use is_cow_mapping() whenever we can across the kernel since we do use it
    quite a lot but it's always done with raw code against VM_* flags.
