[PATCH v2 4/7] mm/gup: introduce the FOLL_SAME_FILE GUP flag

From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Sat Apr 15 2023 - 05:08:56 EST


This flag causes GUP to assert that all VMAs within the input range possess
the same vma->vm_file. If not, the operation fails.

This is part of a patch series which eliminates the vmas parameter from the
GUP API, implementing the one remaining assertion within the entire kernel
that requires access to the VMAs associated with a GUP range.
