Hi, It recently became clear to me that there are some get_user_pages*() callers that don't fit neatly into any of the four cases that are so far listed in pin_user_pages.rst. vhost.c is one of those. Add a Case 5 to the documentation, and refer to that when converting vhost.c. Thanks to Jan Kara for helping me (again) in understanding the interaction between get_user_pages() and page writeback [1]. This is based on today's mmotm, which has a nearby patch to pin_user_pages.rst that rewords cases 3 and 4. Note that I have only compile-tested the vhost.c patch, although that does also include cross-compiling for a few other arches. Any run-time testing would be greatly appreciated.
