OK, there was only process_vm_access.c, plus (sort of) Bharath's sgi-gru
patch, maybe eventually [1].  But looking at process_vm_access.c, I think
it is one of the patches that is no longer applicable, and I can just
drop it entirely...I'd welcome a second opinion on that...

I don't think you can drop the patch. process_vm_rw_pages() clearly touches
page contents and does not synchronize with page_mkclean(). So it is case
1) and needs FOLL_PIN semantics.

John could you send a formal patch using vaddr_pin* and I'll add it to the
tree?


Yes...hints about which struct file to use here are very welcome, btw. This part
of mm is fairly new to me.

thanks,
