So in other words, if you do go out and change all the call sites (there only
seem to be about 7, outside of gup.c, actually), that's going to conflict
a little bit with what I'm doing here.
So, how would you like proceed? If you want to do the full conversion
(which really should include the call sites), it would be easier for me
if you based it on my upcoming small patchset, which I expect to post
shortly (later today).
Sure, I will wait for your patchset :)
As there are only 7 callers of the __get_user_pages_fast(), I prefer to do
full conversion in a single commit. But if it is not preferred way, I would go
as per feedback.
Thanks, I appreciate it! And yes, you'll want to do the "write" to "gup_flags"
conversion in a single patch, definitely.
thanks,
