      mm: add locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() · 5b56d49f
      Lorenzo Stoakes 提交于
      Patch series "mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()".
      
      This patch series continues the cleanup of get_user_pages*() functions
      taking advantage of the fact we can now pass gup_flags as we please.
      
      It firstly adds an additional 'locked' parameter to
      get_user_pages_remote() to allow for its callers to utilise
      VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality.  This is necessary as the invocation of
      __get_user_pages_unlocked() in process_vm_rw_single_vec() makes use of
      this and no other existing higher level function would allow it to do
      so.
      
      Secondly existing callers of __get_user_pages_unlocked() are replaced
      with the appropriate higher-level replacement -
      get_user_pages_unlocked() if the current task and memory descriptor are
      referenced, or get_user_pages_remote() if other task/memory descriptors
      are referenced (having acquiring mmap_sem.)
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      Add a int *locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow
      VM_FAULT_RETRY faulting behaviour similar to get_user_pages_[un]locked().
      
      Taking into account the previous adjustments to get_user_pages*()
      functions allowing for the passing of gup_flags, we are now in a
      position where __get_user_pages_unlocked() need only be exported for his
      ability to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY behaviour, this adjustment allows us to
      subsequently unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() as well as allowing
      for future flexibility in the use of get_user_pages_remote().
