[PATCH v2 3/4] mm/gup: add a range variant of unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock()

From: Joao Martins
Date: Thu Feb 04 2021 - 15:29:22 EST


Add a unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() API which takes a starting page
and how many consecutive pages we want to unpin and optionally dirty.

Given that we won't be iterating on a list of changes, change
compound_next() to receive a bool, whether to calculate from the starting
page, or walk the page array. Finally add a separate iterator,
for_each_compound_range() that just operate in page ranges as opposed
to page array.

For users (like RDMA mr_dereg) where each sg represents a
contiguous set of pages, we're able to more efficiently unpin
pages without having to supply an array of pages much of what
happens today with unpin_user_pages().
