[PATCH 0/8] Simplify the external interface for GUP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is quite a maze of EXPORTED symbols leading up to the three actual
worker functions of GUP. Simplify this by reorganizing some of the code so
the EXPORTED symbols directly call the correct internal function with
validated and consistent arguments.

Consolidate all the assertions into one place at the top of the call
chains.

Remove some dead code.

Jason Gunthorpe (8):
  mm/gup: have internal functions get the mmap_read_lock()
  mm/gup: don't call __gup_longterm_locked() if FOLL_LONGTERM cannot be
    set
  mm/gup: simplify the external interface functions and consolidate
    invariants
  mm/gup: add an assertion that the mmap lock is locked
  mm/gup: add FOLL_UNLOCK
  mm/gup: make locked never NULL in the internal GUP functions
  mm/gup: remove pin_user_pages_fast_only()
  mm/gup: make get_user_pages_fast_only() return the common return value
