Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] mm/gup: clean up follow_pfn_pte() slightly
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2022 01:32:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220203093232.572380-3-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220203093232.572380-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>

Regardless of any FOLL_* flags, get_user_pages() and its variants should
handle PFN-only entries by stopping early, if the caller expected
**pages to be filled in.

This makes for a more reliable API, as compared to the previous approach
of skipping over such entries (and thus leaving them silently
unwritten).
