And get rid of the mmap_sem calls, as part of that. Note
that get_user_pages_fast() will, if necessary, fall back to
__gup_longterm_unlocked(), which takes the mmap_sem as needed.

Jason, can you queue this up for 5.5 to reduce this patch stack a bit?

Yes, I said I'd do this in an earlier revision. Now that it is clear this
won't go through Andrew's tree, applied to rdma for-next

Great, I'll plan on it going up through that tree. To be clear, is it headed 
for:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma.git for-next

?


thanks,
