    mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool' · 73b0140b
    Ira Weiny authored
    To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
    singular write parameter to be gup_flags.
    
    This patch does not change any functionality.  New functionality will
    follow in subsequent patches.
    
    Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
    already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.
    
    NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
    arguments to ensure that callers were converted.  This breaks the current
    GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
    parameter.  So the suggestion was rejected.
