These are made when I explore codes in mm/gup.c.

v2->v3:
=========
- In patch 1, change to use local variable 'start' as a loop cursor
  in fault_in_readable() and fault_in_writeable() so that they have the
  consistent code style with fault_in_safe_writeable(). Doing this can
  avoid ugly long line caused by kinds of type cast (const char __user *). 
  Thanks to David who suggested two ways including this one, I found this
  is better when changing code.

- In patch2, changes to add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() for both below chekcing
  because all external users of __get_user_pages() have done the
  checking in is_valid_gup_args() before calling __get_user_pages().
  Just adding these VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in case, e.g internal setting
  wrong flags in kernel code. Thanks to David for suggesting this.

   - (gup_flags & (FOLL_PIN | FOLL_GET)) == (FOLL_PIN | FOLL_GET))
   - !!pages != !!(gup_flags & (FOLL_GET | FOLL_PIN))

- Drop
      - the old patch 3 of v2 because it's from misunderstanding;
      - the old patch 4, 5 of v2 because they have been merged into x86
        tip tree by Ingo;
      - the old patch 7 of v2 because it has been coverred in another
        thread. Thanks to David for telling the thread link.

- In patch 3, add reviewing tags from Oscar and David.

v1->v2:
==========
- In patch 1, I carelessly copied the fault_in_readable() as
  fault_in_writeable(). Thanks to Yanjun for pointing it out.

- In patch 2, I copied the code in follow_page_pte() to
  __get_user_pages() directly w/o adjustment which is done but not
  merged to patch. That failed testing taken by lkp test robot, thanks
  for reporting.

Baoquan He (3):
  mm/gup: fix wrongly calculated returned value in
    fault_in_safe_writeable()
  mm/gup: remove unneeded checking in follow_page_pte()
  mm/gup: remove gup_fast_pgd_leaf() and clean up the relevant codes
