Subject: mm/gup: move __get_user_pages_fast() down a few lines in gup.c

Patch series "mm/gup, drm/i915: refactor gup_fast, convert to pin_user_pages()", v2.

These patches 003 through 007 (gup refactoring and pin_user_pages stuff) all
look good.

Thanks for fixing up the merge conflicts with commit
17839856fd58 ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue").
I wasn't aware of that commit until the -next conflict email showed up in
my inbox this morning.

thanks,

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().


This patch (of 4):

This is in order to avoid a forward declaration of
internal_get_user_pages_fast(), in the next patch.

This is code movement only--all generated code should be identical.
