[11~From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Subject: mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock() Patch series "mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock()", v3. There are about 50+ patches in my tree [2], and I'll be sending out the remaining ones in a few more groups: * The block/bio related changes (Jerome mostly wrote those, but I've had to move stuff around extensively, and add a little code) * mm/ changes * other subsystem patches * an RFC that shows the current state of the tracking patch set. That can only be applied after all call sites are converted, but it's good to get an early look at it. This is part a tree-wide conversion, as described in fc1d8e7c ("mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions"). This patch (of 3): Provide more capable variation of put_user_pages_dirty_lock(), and delete put_user_pages_dirty(). This is based on the following: 1. Lots of call sites become simpler if a bool is passed into put_user_page*(), instead of making the call site choose which put_user_page*() variant to call. 2. Christoph Hellwig's observation that set_page_dirty_lock() is usually correct, and set_page_dirty() is usually a bug, or at least questionable, within a put_user_page*() calling chain. This leads to the following API choices: * put_user_pages_dirty_lock(page, npages, make_dirty) * There is no put_user_pages_dirty(). You have to hand code that, in the rare case that it's required.
