Hi Andrew and all,

Here's another gup-to-pup (get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages())
conversion patch, this time from Leon Romanovsky, that we agreed is
better suited for the linux-mm tree than for linux-rdma. And it also
couldn't be merged until now (5.6-rc1) because it relies on stuff from
a few different git trees.

(Leon: I added my standard blurb about "this changes set_page_dirty() to
set_page_dirty_lock()", to the commit description.)

I've reviewed this, and done some basic checks (cross-compiles, and
a subset of an LTP run on x86), but I have not personally done directed
tests that would provide coverage of this change.

For that, could we please get some Tested-by tags, and any other tags
(reviews, acks) from those of you who have reportedly tested this? That
would be Hans or Santosh (on Cc below), I'm told:

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net/rds: Track user mapped pages through special API

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Convert net/rds to use the newly introduces pin_user_pages() API,
which properly sets FOLL_PIN. Setting FOLL_PIN is now required for
code that requires tracking of pinned pages.

Note that this effectively changes the code's behavior: it now
ultimately calls set_page_dirty_lock(), instead of set_page_dirty().
This is probably more accurate.

As Christoph Hellwig put it, "set_page_dirty() is only safe if we are
dealing with a file backed page where we have reference on the inode it
hangs off." [1]

Change looks fine to me. Just on safer side, we will try
to test this change with regression suite to make sure it
works as expected.

For patch itself,

Thanks Santosh,
I wrote this patch before John's series was merged into the tree,
but back then, Hans tested it and it worked, hope that it still works. :)

I see. Wasn't aware of it. In that case, its should be fine.

Applied, thank you.
