[PATCH 6/7] mm/gup: Provide hook to check if __GUP_fast() is allowed for the range

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Thu Mar 16 2017 - 11:27:51 EST


This is preparation patch for transition of x86 to generic GUP_fast()
implementation.

On x86, get_user_pages_fast() does few sanity checks to see if we can
call __get_user_pages_fast() for the range.

Wrapping protection should be useful for generic code too.
