[merged mm-stable] mm-gup-remove-the-restriction-on-locked-with-foll_longterm.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/gup: remove the restriction on locked with FOLL_LONGTERM
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-gup-remove-the-restriction-on-locked-with-foll_longterm.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/gup: remove the restriction on locked with FOLL_LONGTERM
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:07:09 -0400

This restriction was created because FOLL_LONGTERM used to scan the vma
list, so it could not tolerate becoming unlocked.  That was fixed in
commit 52650c8b466b ("mm/gup: remove the vma allocation from
gup_longterm_locked()") and the restriction on !vma was removed.

However, the locked restriction remained, even though it isn't necessary
anymore.

Adjust __gup_longterm_locked() so it can handle the mmap_read_lock()
becoming unlocked while it is looping for migration.  Migration does not
require the mmap_read_sem because it is only handling struct pages.  If we
had to unlock then ensure the whole thing returns unlocked.

Remove __get_user_pages_remote() and __gup_longterm_unlocked().  These
cases can now just directly call other functions.
