From e585513b76f7b05d08ca3fb250fed11f6ba46ee5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 14:31:20 +0300 Subject: x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation This patch provides all required callbacks required by the generic get_user_pages_fast() code and switches x86 over - and removes the platform specific implementation.
