      rds: convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages() · dbfe7d74
      John Hubbard authored
      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.
