Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages_locked()

Introduce pin_user_pages_locked(), which is nearly identical to
get_user_pages_locked() except that it sets FOLL_PIN and rejects
FOLL_GET.

Right now get_user_pages_locked() doesn't have similar check for FOLL_PIN
and also not setting FOLL_GET internally irrespective of gup_flags
passed by user.
Do we need to add the same in get_user_pages_locked() ?

Forget to ask, is it fine to add this new pin_user_pages_locked() in
Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst ?

Yes, that should be added...

...and no, that should not.

Yes, it's prudent to assert that FOLL_PIN is *not* set, at all the
get_user_pages*() API calls, thanks for spotting that. I'll add that to
this patch and send out a v2.

The same check should also be added to get_user_pages_unlocked(). I'll send
out a correction (I think just a v3 of that patchset) to add that.

The setting of FOLL_GET, on the other hand, is something best left as-is
so far. Some call sites set FOLL_GET, some want it *not* set, and some
expect that FOLL_GET is implied, and at the moment, the delicate balance is
correct. :)

I wasn't planning on maintaining a rigorous list of all of the pin_user_page*()
API calls, in pin_user_pages.rst. Each call is documented in gup.c, for that.
The .rst is there to help explain things at a slighly higher abstraction level.
