Could you add some background to the commit log for people don't have the context..
Why this converting? What's the main differences?

Hi Bob,
1. Many of the patches have a blurb like this:
For pages that were retained via get_user_pages*(), release those pages
via the new put_user_page*() routines, instead of via put_page().
This is part a tree-wide conversion, as described in commit fc1d8e7cca2d
("mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions").
...and if you look at that commit, you'll find several pages of
information in its commit description, which should address your point.
2. This whole series has to be re-worked, as per the other feedback thread.
So I'll keep your comment in mind when I post a new series.
thanks,
