mm/gup: reorganize internal_get_user_pages_fast()
[ Upstream commit c28b1fc70390df32e29991eedd52bd86e7aba080 ] Patch series "Add a seqcount between gup_fast and copy_page_range()", v4. As discussed and suggested by Linus use a seqcount to close the small race between gup_fast and copy_page_range(). Ahmed confirms that raw_write_seqcount_begin() is the correct API to use in this case and it doesn't trigger any lockdeps. I was able to test it using two threads, one forking and the other using ibv_reg_mr() to trigger GUP fast. Modifying copy_page_range() to sleep made the window large enough to reliably hit to test the logic. This patch (of 2): The next patch in this series makes the lockless flow a little more complex, so move the entire block into a new function and remove a level of indention. Tidy a bit of cruft: - addr is always the same as start, so use start - Use the modern check_add_overflow() for computing end = start + len - nr_pinned/pages << PAGE_SHIFT needs the LHS to be unsigned long to avoid shift overflow, make the variables unsigned long to avoid coding casts in both places. nr_pinned was missing its cast - The handling of ret and nr_pinned can be streamlined a bit No functional change.
