The macros to do this are "fun". See patch #2. We also change the name to get_user_pages_remote(). This is a preparatory patch for the Memory Protection Keys work, but I am sending this separately for review to spare you from the ~30 other patches in the series that have not changed. cc: srikar dronamraju cc: vlastimil babka cc: andrew morton cc: kirill a. shutemov cc: andrea arcangeli cc: naoya horiguchi cc: jack@suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
