The patch titled Subject: mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from pin_user_pages() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-gup-remove-vmas-parameter-from-pin_user_pages.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-gup-remove-vmas-parameter-from-pin_user_pages.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from pin_user_pages() Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 20:25:45 +0100 We are now in a position where no caller of pin_user_pages() requires the vmas parameter at all, so eliminate this parameter from the function and all callers. This clears the way to removing the vmas parameter from GUP altogether.
