    mm: fix get_user_pages_remote()'s handling of FOLL_LONGTERM · c4237f8b
    John Hubbard authored
    As it says in the updated comment in gup.c: current FOLL_LONGTERM
    behavior is incompatible with FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY because of the FS
    DAX check requirement on vmas.
    
    However, the corresponding restriction in get_user_pages_remote() was
    slightly stricter than is actually required: it forbade all
    FOLL_LONGTERM callers, but we can actually allow FOLL_LONGTERM callers
    that do not set the "locked" arg.
    
    Update the code and comments to loosen the restriction, allowing
    FOLL_LONGTERM in some cases.
    
    Also, copy the DAX check ("if a VMA is DAX, don't allow long term
    pinning") from the VFIO call site, all the way into the internals of
    get_user_pages_remote() and __gup_longterm_locked().  That is:
    get_user_pages_remote() calls __gup_longterm_locked(), which in turn
    calls check_dax_vmas().  This check will then be removed from the VFIO
    call site in a subsequent patch.
    
    Thanks to Jason Gunthorpe for pointing out a clean way to fix this, and
    to Dan Williams for helping clarify the DAX refactoring.
