[PATCH 0/3] Add gup fast + longterm and use it in HFI1

From: <hidden>
Date: 2019-02-11 20:17:07
Also in: linux-mm, linux-rdma, lkml

From: Ira Weiny <redacted>

NOTE: This series depends on my clean up patch to remove the write parameter
from gup_fast_permitted()[1]

HFI1 uses get_user_pages_fast() due to it performance advantages.  Like RDMA,
HFI1 pages can be held for a significant time.  But get_user_pages_fast() does
not protect against mapping of FS DAX pages.

Introduce a get_user_pages_fast_longterm() which retains the performance while
also adding the FS DAX checks.  XDP has also shown interest in using this
functionality.[2]
