Subject: [PATCH v5 0/5] mm/gup: some cleanups

Hi,

Here's an update, mainly just collecting reviewed-by tags:

Changes since v4:

    * Patch 1: reflowed the commit description to 72 columns.

    * Added reviewed-by's from Christoph and Jan for remaining patches.

    * Rebased onto 5.17-rc3.


Changes since v3:

    * Patch 1: Commit log: removed a reference to an out of tree module,
      and updated tags and added a short note to that effect.

    * Patch 2: Fixed up do_move_pages(), to squash -EEXIST returns from
      follow_page() into something that move_pages() allows: -EFAULT.
      This is from reviews by Jan Kara, Matthew Wilcox, Jason Gunthorpe.

      Removed all Reviewed-by tags for this patch, due to that update.

    * Patch 4: Split into two patches, as recommended by Christoph
      Hellwig. Left the Reviewed-by tags intact because no code changes
      were required.

    * Added Reviewed-by tags from Claudio Imbrenda.

Changes since v2:

    * Patch 2: Removed an unnecessary line that was causing a
      clang-analyzer complaint, as reported by Lukas Bulwahn
      [1] (thanks!), and retested locally.

      Jason: I've boldly left your Reviewed-by tag on this patch,
      because I am predicting you'll agree with it...

    * Added Reviewed-by tags from Jan Kara, Christoph Hellwig, and
      Jason Gunthorpe that have collected since v2.


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 [2].

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:

v2:
