For pages that were retained via get_user_pages*(), release those pages
via the new put_user_page*() routines, instead of via put_page() or
release_pages().

This is part a tree-wide conversion, as described in commit fc1d8e7cca2d
("mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions").

Note that this effectively changes the code's behavior in
i915_gem_userptr_put_pages(): it now calls set_page_dirty_lock(),
instead of set_page_dirty(). This is probably more accurate.

We've already fixed this in drm-tip where the current code uses
set_page_dirty_lock().

This would conflict with our tree. Rodrigo is handling
drm-intel-next for 5.4, so you guys want to coordinate how
to merge.


Hi Joonas, Rodrigo,

First of all, I apologize for the API breakage: put_user_pages_dirty_lock()
has an additional "dirty" parameter.

In order to deal with the merge problem, I'll drop this patch from my series,
and I'd recommend that the drm-intel-next take the following approach:

1) For now, s/put_page/put_user_page/ in i915_gem_userptr_put_pages(),
and fix up the set_page_dirty() --> set_page_dirty_lock() issue, like this
(based against linux.git):

+               put_user_page(page);
        }
        obj->mm.dirty = false;


That will leave you with your original set_page_dirty_lock() calls
and everything works properly.

2) Next cycle, move to the new put_user_pages_dirty_lock().

thanks,
