400 *

402 * the page is written to, set_page_dirty (or set_page_dirty_lock, as

530 * This is meant to be called in the specific scenario where for locking reasons
531 * we try to access user memory in atomic context (within a pagefault_disable()
532 * section), this returns -EFAULT, and we want to resolve the user fault before
533 * trying again.
534 *
535 * Typically this is meant to be used by the futex code.
536 *
537 * The main difference with get_user_pages() is that this function will
538 * unconditionally call handle_mm_fault() which will in turn perform all the
539 * necessary SW fixup of the dirty and young bits in the PTE, while
540 * handle_mm_fault() only guarantees to update these in the struct page.
541 *
542 * This is important for some architectures where those bits also gate the
543 * access permission to the page because they are maintained in software. On
544 * such architectures, gup() will not be enough to make a subsequent access
545 * succeed.
546 *

588 * @start: starting user address
589 * @nr_pages: number of pages from start to pin
590 * @write: whether pages will be written to by the caller
591 * @force: whether to force access even when user mapping is currently
592 * protected (but never forces write access to shared mapping).
593 * @pages: array that receives pointers to the pages pinned.
594 * Should be at least nr_pages long. Or NULL, if caller
595 * only intends to ensure the pages are faulted in.
596 * @vmas: array of pointers to vmas corresponding to each page.
597 * Or NULL if the caller does not require them.
598 *
599 * Returns number of pages pinned. This may be fewer than the number
600 * requested. If nr_pages is 0 or negative, returns 0. If no pages
601 * were pinned, returns -errno. Each page returned must be released
602 * with a put_page() call when it is finished with. vmas will only
603 * remain valid while mmap_sem is held.
604 *
605 * Must be called with mmap_sem held for read or write.
606 *
607 * get_user_pages walks a process's page tables and takes a reference to
608 * each struct page that each user address corresponds to at a given
609 * instant. That is, it takes the page that would be accessed if a user
610 * thread accesses the given user virtual address at that instant.
611 *
612 * This does not guarantee that the page exists in the user mappings when
613 * get_user_pages returns, and there may even be a completely different
614 * page there in some cases (eg. if mmapped pagecache has been invalidated
615 * and subsequently re faulted). However it does guarantee that the page
616 * won't be freed completely. And mostly callers simply care that the page
617 * contains data that was valid *at some point in time*. Typically, an IO
618 * or similar operation cannot guarantee anything stronger anyway because
619 * locks can't be held over the syscall boundary.
620 *
621 * If write=0, the page must not be written to. If the page is written to,
622 * set_page_dirty (or set_page_dirty_lock, as appropriate) must be called
623 * after the page is finished with, and before put_page is called.
624 *
625 * get_user_pages is typically used for fewer-copy IO operations, to get a
626 * handle on the memory by some means other than accesses via the user virtual
627 * addresses. The pages may be submitted for DMA to devices or accessed via
628 * their kernel linear mapping (via the kmap APIs). Care should be taken to
629 * use the correct cache flushing APIs.
630 *
631 * See also get_user_pages_fast, for performance critical applications.
