Subject: [PATCH 4/4] goldfish_pipe/mm: convert to the new release_user_pages() call
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2018 22:39:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180928053949.5381-5-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180928053949.5381-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>
For code that retains pages via get_user_pages*(),
release those pages via the new release_user_pages(),
instead of calling put_page().
This prepares for eventually fixing the problem described
in [1], and is following a plan listed in [2].
[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/753027/ : "The Trouble with get_user_pages()"
[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180709080554.21931-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com
Proposed steps for fixing get_user_pages() + DMA problems.
