- * get_user_pages_locked() - variant of get_user_pages()
- *
- * @start:      starting user address
- * @nr_pages:   number of pages from start to pin
- * @gup_flags:  flags modifying lookup behaviour
- * @pages:      array that receives pointers to the pages pinned.
- *              Should be at least nr_pages long. Or NULL, if caller
- *              only intends to ensure the pages are faulted in.
- * @locked:     pointer to lock flag indicating whether lock is held and
- *              subsequently whether VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality can be
- *              utilised. Lock must initially be held.
- *
- * It is suitable to replace the form:
- *
- *      mmap_read_lock(mm);
- *      do_something()
- *      get_user_pages(mm, ..., pages, NULL);
- *      mmap_read_unlock(mm);
- *
- *  to:

- *      int locked = 1;
- *      mmap_read_lock(mm);
- *      do_something()
- *      get_user_pages_locked(mm, ..., pages, &locked);
- *      if (locked)
- *          mmap_read_unlock(mm);
- *
- * We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault
- * paths better by using either get_user_pages_locked() or
- * get_user_pages_unlocked().
