Subject: [PATCH] rds: convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()
Date: Sat, 16 May 2020 18:23:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200517012336.382624-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
This code was using get_user_pages_fast(), in a "Case 2" scenario
(DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's
time to convert the get_user_pages_fast() + put_page() calls to
pin_user_pages_fast() + unpin_user_pages() calls.
There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small
part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and
file systems' use of those pages.
