>From Jan Kara's cover letter:
I'm sending the seventh version of my patch series to abstract vma handling
from the various media drivers. Since the previous version there are just
minor cleanups and fixes (see detailed changelog at the end of the email).
After this patch set drivers have to know much less details about vmas, their
types, and locking. Also quite some code is removed from them. As a bonus
drivers get automatically VM_FAULT_RETRY handling. The primary motivation for
this series is to remove knowledge about mmap_sem locking from as many places a
possible so that we can change it with reasonable effort.
The core of the series is the new helper get_vaddr_frames() which is given a
virtual address and it fills in PFNs / struct page pointers (depending on VMA
type) into the provided array. If PFNs correspond to normal pages it also grabs
references to these pages. The difference from get_user_pages() is that this
function can also deal with pfnmap, and io mappings which is what the media
drivers need.
I have tested the patches with vivid driver so at least vb2 code got some
exposure. Conversion of other drivers was just compile-tested (for x86 so e.g.
exynos driver which is only for Samsung platform is completely untested).
The following changes since commit 4dc102b2f53d63207fa12a6ad49c7b6448bc3301:
