Subject[PATCH 0/3] Add gup fast + longterm and use it in HFI1
Date
From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

NOTE: This series depends on my clean up patch to remove the write parameter
from gup_fast_permitted()[1]

HFI1 uses get_user_pages_fast() due to it performance advantages. Like RDMA,
HFI1 pages can be held for a significant time. But get_user_pages_fast() does
not protect against mapping of FS DAX pages.

Introduce a get_user_pages_fast_longterm() which retains the performance while
also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also shown interest in using this
functionality.[2]
