Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] mm/gup: some cleanups

Hi Peter, Jason and all,

Changes since v1:
    * Patch 4: changed from get_user_pages(), to get_user_pages_fast().

    * Patch 4: Rewrote the commit description--thanks to Jan Kara for
               that feedback.

    * Patch 1: Removed Jerome's Cc from patch 1, due to a stale email
               address.

    * Added Reviewed-by's from David Hildenbrand and Jason Gunthorpe.

Original cover letter, updated as necessary:

I'm including Peter's patch as the first one in this tiny series. (The
commit description has my r-b tag in place of my Cc, and removes
Jerome's Cc because he is no longer at redhat.com) The second patch is
what I had in mind for a follow-up to that, when we were discussing that
fix [1].

Plus, a couple more small removals that I had queued up:

The third patch removes a completely unused routine:
pin_user_pages_locked().

The forth patch removes a similar routine, get_user_pages_locked(), that
only has one caller. It now calls get_user_pages_fast(), instead.

v1 of this patchset is here:

thanks,
John Hubbard
