The purpose of posting this series is to launch a test in the intel-gfx-ci tree. (The patches have already been merged into Andrew's linux-mm tree.) This applies to today's linux.git (note the base-commit tag at the bottom). Changes since V1: * Fixed a bug in the refactoring patch: added FOLL_FAST_ONLY to the list of gup_flags *not* to WARN() on. This lead to a failure in the first intel-gfx-ci test run [1]. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/159008745422.32320.5724805750977048669@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Original cover letter: This needs to go through Andrew's -mm tree, due to adding a new gup.c routine. However, I would really love to have some testing from the drm/i915 folks, because I haven't been able to run-time test that part of it. Otherwise, though, the series has passed my basic run time testing: some LTP tests, some xfs and etx4 non-destructive xfstests, and an assortment of other smaller ones: vm selftests, io_uring_register, a few more. But that's only on one particular machine. Also, cross-compile tests for half a dozen arches all pass. Details: In order to convert the drm/i915 driver from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages(), a FOLL_PIN equivalent of __get_user_pages_fast() was required. That led to refactoring __get_user_pages_fast(), with the following goals: 1) As above: provide a pin_user_pages*() routine for drm/i915 to call, in place of __get_user_pages_fast(), 2) Get rid of the gup.c duplicate code for walking page tables with interrupts disabled. This duplicate code is a minor maintenance problem anyway. 3) Make it easy for an upcoming patch from Souptick, which aims to convert __get_user_pages_fast() to use a gup_flags argument, instead of a bool writeable arg. Also, if this series looks good, we can ask Souptick to change the name as well, to whatever the consensus is. My initial recommendation is: get_user_pages_fast_only(), to match the new pin_user_pages_only().
