This series aims to provide cleanups to users that pin pages (mostly infiniband) by converting the counter to atomic -- note that Daniel Jordan also has patches (http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181105165558.11698-8-daniel.m.jordan@xxxxxxxxxx) for the locked_vm counterpart and vfio. Apart from removing a source of mmap_sem writer, we benefit in that we can get rid of a lot of code that defers work when the lock cannot be acquired, as well as drivers avoiding mmap_sem altogether by also converting gup to gup_fast() and letting the mm handle it. Users that do the gup_longterm() remain of course under at least reader mmap_sem. On a similar topic and potential follow up, it would be nice to resurrect Peter's VM_PINNED idea in that the broken semantics that occurred after bc3e53f682 ("mm: distinguish between mlocked and pinned pages") are still present. Also encapsulating internal mm logic via mm[un]pin() instead of drivers having to know about internals and playing nice with compaction are all wins. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/5/854 This patch (of 6): Taking a sleeping lock to _only_ increment a variable is quite the overkill, and pretty much all users do this. Furthermore, some drivers (ie: infiniband and scif) that need pinned semantics can go to quite some trouble to actually delay via workqueue (un)accounting for pinned pages when not possible to acquire it. By making the counter atomic we no longer need to hold the mmap_sem and can simply some code around it for pinned_vm users. The counter is 64-bit such that we need not worry about overflows such as rdma user input controlled from userspace.
