Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages(), to extract a list of pages from
an iterator. The pages may be returned with a reference added or a pin
added or neither, depending on the type of iterator and the direction of
transfer. The caller must pass FOLL_READ_FROM_MEM or FOLL_WRITE_TO_MEM
as part of gup_flags to indicate how the iterator contents are to be used.
Add a second function, iov_iter_extract_mode(), to determine how the
cleanup should be done.
There are three cases:
(1) Transfer *into* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.
Extracted pages will have pins obtained on them (but not references)
so that fork() doesn't CoW the pages incorrectly whilst the I/O is in
progress.
iov_iter_extract_mode() will return FOLL_PIN for this case. The
caller should use something like unpin_user_page() to dispose of the
page.
(2) Transfer is *out of* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.
Extracted pages will have references obtained on them, but not pins.
iov_iter_extract_mode() will return FOLL_GET. The caller should use
something like put_page() for page disposal.
(3) Any other sort of iterator.
No refs or pins are obtained on the page, the assumption is made that
the caller will manage page retention. ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA is not
permitted.
iov_iter_extract_mode() will return 0. The pages don't need
additional disposal.

Notes:
ver #7)
- Switch to passing in iter-specific flags rather than FOLL_* flags.
- Use READ_FROM_ITER/WRITE_TO_ITER to indicate direction.
- Use ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA to request FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA.
- Disallow use of ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA with non-user-backed iter.
ver #6)
- Add back the function to indicate the cleanup mode.
- Drop the cleanup_mode return arg to iov_iter_extract_pages().
- Pass FOLL_SOURCE/DEST_BUF in gup_flags. Check this against the iter
data_source.
ver #4)
- Use ITER_SOURCE/DEST instead of WRITE/READ.
- Allow additional FOLL_* flags, such as FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA to be passed in.
ver #3)
- Switch to using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to prevent indirect 3rd-party access
to get/pin_user_pages_fast()[1].
