Re: [Linux-kernel-mentees][PATCH v5 1/1] sgi-gru: Remove *pte_lookup functions, Convert to get_user_page*()

[Dimitri Sivanich <sivanich@hpe.com>]

Bharath,

I do not believe that __get_user_pages_fast will work for the atomic case, as
there is no guarantee that the 'current->mm' will be the correct one for the
process in question, as the process might have moved away from the cpu that is
handling interrupts for it's context.
