So, FOLL_FAST_ONLY only has one single user through get_user_pages_fast_only (pin_user_pages_fast_only is entirely unused, which makes totally sense given that give up on fault and pin are not exactly useful semantics). But it looks like they want to call it from atomic context, so we can't really share it. Sight, I hate all these single-user FOLL flags that make gup.c a complete mess. But otherwise this looks fine.
