Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: Introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast.
get_user_pages_fast attempts to pin user pages by walking the page
tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be
protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs
to block any THP splits.
One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and
rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table
pages are freed.
On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus
the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and
spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too
often.
This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page
table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an
rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic
has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables
HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement
their own get_user_pages_fast routines.
The RCU page table free logic coupled with a an IPI broadcast on THP
split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table
walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk.
This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast
that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of
TLB invalidations.
It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation.

NOTE: I kept the description of patch as it is and also retained the documentation.
I also dropped the tested-by and other SOB, because i was not sure whether they want
to be blamed for the bugs here. Please feel free to update.
