RE: [PATCH v16 0/9] mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios

Hi Andrew,

> Currently, some drivers (e.g, Udmabuf) that want to longterm-pin

> the folios for DMA. Two new Udmabuf selftests are also included to

The issues identified by syzbot have been fixed in v15 and the concern
raised by Oscar is addressed in v16. I think this patch series can now be
merged into mm-unstable for further testing.

Thanks,
