3) Make it easy for an upcoming patch from Souptick, which aims to convert __get_user_pages_fast() to use a gup_flags argument, instead of a bool writeable arg. Also, if this series looks good, we can ask Souptick to change the name as well, to whatever the consensus is. My initial recommendation is: get_user_pages_fast_only(), to match the new pin_user_pages_only().Shall I hold my changes till 5.8-rc1 , when this series will appear upstream ?
I don't really see any problem with your posting something that is based on the latest linux-next (which has my changes now). Should be fine. And in fact it would be nice to get that done in this round, so that the pin* and get* APIs look the same. thanks, -- John Hubbard NVIDIA
