Seems to me like we could just provide the one exported function with a flag then use an static inline helper for the pin version. That would help keep the FOLL_PIN flag contained as you like. > Along those lines, I've copied you in on "New topic branch for block + > gup work?", let's see what happens over there. > > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220831041843.973026-1-jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx Thanks for the review. All the feedback makes sense. I'll apply all the changes from you and Christoph for the next version. I'm happy to base the next version off of any other changes to the iov functions. I suspect my patches can hold off a cycle or two more while we do it. Let me know if you'd like some help making the conversions, I'm also fine to do some work to aid with the effort. Thanks, Logan
