H A D | pin_user_pages.rst | eddb1c228f7951d399240a0cc57455dccc7f8777 Fri Jan 31 00:12:54 CST 2020 John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages*() and FOLL_PIN
Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.
For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API.
These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also introduced, and thoroughly documented.
pin_user_pages() pin_user_pages_remote() pin_user_pages_fast()
All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via put_user_page().
The underlying rules are:
* FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly set it. That behavior is enforced with assertions.
* Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN. These wrappers will:
* Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages". That makes it easy to find and audit the call sites.
* Set FOLL_PIN
* For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned via put_user_page().
Thanks to Jan Kara and Vlastimil Babka for explaining the 4 cases in this documentation. (I've reworded it and expanded upon it.)
