    mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from get_user_pages_remote() · ca5e8632
    Lorenzo Stoakes authored
    The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the
    vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the
    VMA directly. In particular:-
    
    - __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply
      remove it.
    
    - __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original
      lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the
      code.
    
    We are able to perform these VMA operations as we already hold the
    mmap_lock in order to be able to call get_user_pages_remote().
    
    As part of this work we add get_user_page_vma_remote() which abstracts the
    VMA lookup, error handling and decrementing the page reference count should
    the VMA lookup fail.
    
    This forms part of a broader set of patches intended to eliminate the vmas
    parameter altogether.
