[PATCH 0/2] mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()

[Vishal Moola (Oracle)]

A couple straightforward cleanups to memfd_pin_folios() found through
code inspection. Saves 124 bytes of kernel text overall and makes the
code more readable.

  mm/gup: Remove unnecessary check in memfd_pin_folios()
  mm/gup: Remove page_folio() in memfd_pin_folios()

[PATCH 1/2] mm/gup: Remove unnecessary check in memfd_pin_folios()

[Vishal Moola (Oracle)]

Commit 89c1905d9c14 ("mm/gup: introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios")
checks if filemap_get_folios_contig() returned duplicate folios to
prevent multiple attempts at pinning the same folio.

Commit 8ab1b1602396 ("mm: fix filemap_get_folios_contig returning batches of identical folios")
ensures that filemap_get_folios_contig() returns a batch of distinct folios.

We can remove the duplicate folio check to simplify the code and save
58 bytes of text.

At that time, I believed that filemap_get_folios_contig() returning duplicate
folios was by design and not a result of a bug and hence added this workaround,
which is no longer needed in light of your fix.
Anyway, LGTM.

[PATCH 2/2] mm/gup: Remove page_folio() in memfd_pin_folios()

[Vishal Moola (Oracle)]

We can get the folio directly from the folio batch, so remove the
unnecessary page_folio() call.

I don't recall why I chose to extract the folio in a roundabout way. LGTM.
