I think there is no exported function for that, but there is a global variable for that. Reason being for performance - the action virt_to_phys() is a macro to be compiled inline and more details here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5982125/how-to-get-a-struct-page-from-any...

More information : - Linux kernel version : 2.6.32 (But I would like a method which is portable to other higher versions as well) - I tried using follow_page, but this function is not exported from the kernel so, can't use it. (Any reason why this function is not exported??)

Thanks Ajay

Hey,

I am working on a linux kernel module and I have a virtual address and mm (struct mm_struct) for a process in this module. I can find the virtaul memory area to which this address belongs to by using find_vma.

Is there a function in the linux kernel which I can use in this module (i.e. exported from the kernel) to get struct page pointer for this virtual address.

Thanks Ajay
