472 * @nonblocking: whether waiting for disk IO or mmap_sem contention
474 * Returns number of pages pinned. This may be fewer than the number
475 * requested. If nr_pages is 0 or negative, returns 0. If no pages
476 * were pinned, returns -errno. Each page returned must be released
477 * with a put_page() call when it is finished with. vmas will only
478 * remain valid while mmap_sem is held.
480 * Must be called with mmap_sem held. It may be released. See below.
482 * __get_user_pages walks a process's page tables and takes a reference to
483 * each struct page that each user address corresponds to at a given
484 * instant. That is, it takes the page that would be accessed if a user
485 * thread accesses the given user virtual address at that instant.

488 * __get_user_pages returns, and there may even be a completely different
489 * page there in some cases (eg. if mmapped pagecache has been invalidated
490 * and subsequently re faulted). However it does guarantee that the page
491 * won't be freed completely. And mostly callers simply care that the page
492 * contains data that was valid *at some point in time*. Typically, an IO
493 * or similar operation cannot guarantee anything stronger anyway because
494 * locks can't be held over the syscall boundary.
496 * If @gup_flags & FOLL_WRITE == 0, the page must not be written to. If
497 * the page is written to, set_page_dirty (or set_page_dirty_lock, as
498 * appropriate) must be called after the page is finished with, and
499 * before put_page is called.
501 * If @nonblocking != NULL, __get_user_pages will not wait for disk IO
502 * or mmap_sem contention, and if waiting is needed to pin all pages,
503 * *@nonblocking will be set to 0. Further, if @gup_flags does not
504 * include FOLL_NOWAIT, the mmap_sem will be released via up_read() in
505 * this case.
507 * A caller using such a combination of @nonblocking and @gup_flags
508 * must therefore hold the mmap_sem for reading only, and recognize
509 * when it's been released. Otherwise, it must be held for either
510 * reading or writing and will not be released.
512 * In most cases, get_user_pages or get_user_pages_fast should be used

1137 * tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be
1138 * protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and should
1139 * block any THP splits.
1141 * One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and
1142 * rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table
1143 * pages are freed. This is unsuitable for architectures that do not need
1144 * to broadcast an IPI when invalidating TLBs.
1146 * Another way to achieve this is to batch up page table containing pages
1147 * belonging to more than one mm_user, then rcu_sched a callback to free those
1148 * pages. Disabling interrupts will allow the fast_gup walker to both block
1149 * the rcu_sched callback, and an IPI that we broadcast for splitting THPs
1150 * (which is a relatively rare event). The code below adopts this strategy.
1152 * Before activating this code, please be aware that the following assumptions
1153 * are currently made:
1155 * *) HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE is enabled, and tlb_remove_table is used to free
1156 * pages containing page tables.
1158 * *) ptes can be read atomically by the architecture.

1162 * The last two assumptions can be relaxed by the addition of helper functions.
