  3415	 * pin_user_pages_fd() - pin user pages associated with a file
  3416	 * @fd:         the fd whose pages are to be pinned
  3417	 * @start:      starting file offset
  3418	 * @nr_pages:   number of pages from start to pin
  3419	 * @gup_flags:  flags modifying pin behaviour
  3420	 * @pages:      array that receives pointers to the pages pinned.

  3423	 * Attempt to pin (and migrate) pages associated with a file belonging to
  3424	 * either shmem or hugetlbfs. An error is returned if pages associated with
  3425	 * hugetlbfs files are not present in the page cache. However, shmem pages
  3426	 * are swapped in or allocated if they are not present in the page cache.
