Subject: [PATCH 02/37] mm, frame_vector: do not use get_user_pages_locked()
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 19:35:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151117033514.B104D3A2@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151117033511.BFFA1440@viggo.jf.intel.com>


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

get_user_pages_locked() appears to be for use when a caller needs
to know that its lock on mmap_sem was invalidated by the gup
call.

But, get_vaddr_frames() is not one of those users.  It
unconditionally locks the mmap_sem and unconditionally unlocks it
after the gup call.  It takes no special action and does not need
to know whether its lock was invalidated or not.

Replace get_user_pages_locked() with a vanilla get_user_pages()
and save a few lines of code.

Note that this was the *ONLY* use of get_user_pages_locked() in
the entire kernel tree.
