Can we get a put_user_page_dirty(struct page 8*pages, bool dirty, npages) ?

It is a common pattern that we might have to conditionaly dirty the pages
and i feel it would look cleaner if we could move the branch within the
put_user_page*() function.


This sounds reasonable to me, do others have a preference on this? Last time
we discussed it, I recall there was interest in trying to handle the sg lists,
which was where a lot of focus was. I'm not sure if there was a preference one way or the other, on adding more of these helpers.


thanks,
