Hi Ira, This is for your tree. I'm dropping the RFC because this aspect is starting to firm up pretty well.
I've moved FOLL_PIN inside the vaddr_pin_*() routines, and moved FOLL_LONGTERM outside, based on our recent discussions. This is documented pretty well within the patches. Note that there are a lot of references in comments and commit logs, to vaddr_pin_pages(). We'll want to catch all of those if we rename that. I am pushing pretty hard to rename it to vaddr_pin_user_pages(). v1 of this may be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190812015044.26176-1-jhubb...@nvidia.com John Hubbard (3): For Ira: tiny formatting tweak to kerneldoc mm/gup: introduce FOLL_PIN flag for get_user_pages() mm/gup: introduce vaddr_pin_pages_remote(), and invoke it drivers/infiniband/core/umem.c | 1 + include/linux/mm.h | 61 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- mm/gup.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++-- mm/process_vm_access.c | 23 +++++++------ 4 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) -- 2.22.1
