Subject: [PATCH] mm/gup: might_lock_read(mmap_sem) in get_user_pages_fast()

Instead of scattering these assertions across the drivers,
do this assertion inside the core of get_user_pages_fast*()
functions. That also includes pin_user_pages_fast*()
routines.

Add a might_lock_read(mmap_sem) call to internal_get_user_pages_fast().

Hi Andrew,

This applies on top of [1], which in turn applies to
today's (20200521) linux-next.

As noted in the discussion [2], this will need changing from
mmap_sem to mmap_lock, after Michel Lespinasse's patchset
arrives.
