This patch series incorporates a few changes in the get_user_page usage of sgi-gru. The main change is the first patch, which is a trivial one line change to convert put_page to put_user_page to enable tracking of get_user_pages. The second patch removes an uneccessary ifdef of CONFIG_HUGETLB. The third patch adds __get_user_pages_fast in atomic_pte_lookup to retrive a physical user page in an atomic context instead of manually walking up the page tables like the current code does. This patch should be subject to more review from the gup people. drivers/misc/sgi-gru/* builds after this patch series. But I do not have the hardware to verify these changes. The first patch implements gup tracking in the current code. This is to be tested as to check whether gup tracking works properly. Currently, in the upstream kernels put_user_page simply calls put_page. But that is to change in the future. Any suggestions as to how to test this code? The implementation of gup tracking is in: https://github.com/johnhubbard/linux/tree/gup_dma_core We could test it by applying the first patch to the above tree and test it. More details are in the individual changelogs.
