Subject: [PATCH 0/3] misc: xilinx-sdfec: convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()

Hi,

There are also a couple of tiny cleanup patches, just to fix up a few
minor issues that I spotted while converting from get_user_pages_fast()
to pin_user_pages_fast().

Note that I have only compile-tested these patches, although that does
also include cross-compiling for a few other arches. Any run-time
testing would be greatly appreciated!

Reviewed-by:
Technically there is no problem in this patch, but as you said this should be tested.
Currently due to Covid-19 I'm not able to access the HW and I cannot validate this suggestion.


Hi Dragan,

Thanks for the review, and for *wanting* to do the testing, even though you
can't right now. :)

thanks,
