Subject: [PATCH v1 10/16] mm/memory: use __zap_vma_range() in zap_vma_for_reaping()

From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:08:41 +0100

Let's call __zap_vma_range() instead of unmap_page_range() to prepare
for further cleanups.

To keep the existing behavior, whereby we do not call uprobe_munmap()
which could block, add a new "reaping" member to zap_details and use it.

Likely we should handle the possible blocking in uprobe_munmap()
differently, but for now keep it unchanged.
