Patch series "mm/gup, drm/i915: refactor gup_fast, convert to pin_user_pages()", v2.
In order to convert the drm/i915 driver from get_user_pages() to
pin_user_pages(), a FOLL_PIN equivalent of __get_user_pages_fast() was
required. That led to refactoring __get_user_pages_fast(), with the
following goals:
1) As above: provide a pin_user_pages*() routine for drm/i915 to call,
in place of __get_user_pages_fast(),
2) Get rid of the gup.c duplicate code for walking page tables with
interrupts disabled. This duplicate code is a minor maintenance
problem anyway.
3) Make it easy for an upcoming patch from Souptick, which aims to
convert __get_user_pages_fast() to use a gup_flags argument, instead
of a bool writeable arg. Also, if this series looks good, we can
ask Souptick to change the name as well, to whatever the consensus
is. My initial recommendation is: get_user_pages_fast_only(), to
match the new pin_user_pages_only().
This patch (of 4):
This is in order to avoid a forward declaration of
internal_get_user_pages_fast(), in the next patch.
This is code movement only--all generated code should be identical.
