mm/gup: move __get_user_pages_fast() down a few lines in gup.c
Patch series "mm/gup, drm/i915: refactor gup_fast, convert to pin_user_pages()", v2. In order to convert the drm/i915 driver from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages(), a FOLL_PIN equivalent of __get_user_pages_fast() was required. That led to refactoring __get_user_pages_fast(), with the following goals: 1) As above: provide a pin_user_pages*() routine for drm/i915 to call, in place of __get_user_pages_fast(), 2) Get rid of the gup.c duplicate code for walking page tables with interrupts disabled. This duplicate code is a minor maintenance problem anyway. 3) Make it easy for an upcoming patch from Souptick, which aims to convert __get_user_pages_fast() to use a gup_flags argument, instead of a bool writeable arg. Also, if this series looks good, we can ask Souptick to change the name as well, to whatever the consensus is. My initial recommendation is: get_user_pages_fast_only(), to match the new pin_user_pages_only(). This patch (of 4): This is in order to avoid a forward declaration of internal_get_user_pages_fast(), in the next patch. This is code movement only--all generated code should be identical.
