This is responding to some feedback from Ingo on the "get_user_pages_foreign()" patch: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160209124649.GA20153@xxxxxxxxx This new series breaks apart some of the changes in that original patch and adds some backward-compatibility to allow old-style get_user_pages() arguments to not break the build. The macros to do this are "fun". See patch #2. We also change the name to get_user_pages_remote(). This is a preparatory patch for the Memory Protection Keys work, but I am sending this separately for review to spare you from the ~30 other patches in the series that have not changed. cc: srikar dronamraju <srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: vlastimil babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> cc: andrew morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: kirill a. shutemov <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: andrea arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> cc: naoya horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: jack@xxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
