In 2019, we introduced pin_user_pages*() and now we are converting get_user_pages*() to the new API as appropriate. [1] & [2] could be referred for more information. [1] Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst [2] "Explicit pinning of user-space pages": https://lwn.net/Articles/807108/ Signed-off-by: Souptick Joarder <jrdr.linux@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi, I have compile tested this patch but unable to run-time test, so any testing help is much appriciated. Also have a question, why the existing code is not marking the pages dirty (since it did FOLL_WRITE) ? drivers/xen/privcmd.c | 7 ++----- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/xen/privcmd.c b/drivers/xen/privcmd.c index a250d11..543739e 100644 --- a/drivers/xen/privcmd.c +++ b/drivers/xen/privcmd.c @@ -594,7 +594,7 @@ static int lock_pages( if (requested > nr_pages) return -ENOSPC; - pinned = get_user_pages_fast( + pinned = pin_user_pages_fast( (unsigned long) kbufs[i].uptr, requested, FOLL_WRITE, pages); if (pinned < 0) @@ -614,10 +614,7 @@ static void unlock_pages(struct page *pages[], unsigned int nr_pages) if (!pages) return; - for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) { - if (pages[i]) - put_page(pages[i]); - } + unpin_user_pages(pages, nr_pages); } static long privcmd_ioctl_dm_op(struct file *file, void __user *udata) -- 1.9.1
