[PATCH 1/5] mm: add get_user_pages_remote_longterm function

From: Joel Nider
Date: Tue Jan 29 2019 - 08:27:03 EST


In order to support the RDMA reg_remote_mr function, we must have the
ability to get memory pages for an indeterminate amount of time from
a remote process. In this case, 'remote' simply means a process that is
different from the caller. Functions for getting longterm pages
(get_user_pages_longterm) and remote pages (get_user_pages_remote)
already exist - this new function combines the functionality of both
of them.
