Subject[PATCH 0/4] mm/gup, drm/i915: refactor gup_fast, convert to pin_user_pages()
Date
This needs to go through Andrew's -mm tree, due to adding a new gup.c
routine. However, I would really love to have some testing from the
drm/i915 folks, because I haven't been able to run-time test that part
of it.

Otherwise, though, the series has passed my basic run time testing:
some LTP tests, some xfs and etx4 non-destructive xfstests, and an
assortment of other smaller ones: vm selftests, io_uring_register, a
few more. But that's only on one particular machine. Also, cross-compile
tests for half a dozen arches all pass.

Details:

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().

John Hubbard (4):
mm/gup: move __get_user_pages_fast() down a few lines in gup.c
mm/gup: refactor and de-duplicate gup_fast() code
mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages_fast_only()
drm/i915: convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()
