Hi,
The cover letter is long, so the more important stuff is first:
Jason, if you or someone could look at the the VFIO cleanup (patch 8) and conversion to FOLL_PIN (patch 18), to make sure it's use of remote and longterm gup matches what we discussed during the review of v2, I'd appreciate it.
Also for Jason and IB: as noted below, in patch 11, I am (too?) boldly converting from put_user_pages() to release_pages().
Why are we doing this? I think things got confused here someplace, as the comment still says:
/** * put_user_page() - release a gup-pinned page * @page: pointer to page to be released * * Pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*() must be released via * either put_user_page(), or one of the put_user_pages*() routines * below.
I feel like if put_user_pages() is not the correct way to undo get_user_pages() then it needs to be deleted.
