To be safe against concurrent changes to the VMA tree, we must take the
mmap lock around GUP operations (excluding the GUP-fast family of
operations, which will take the mmap lock by themselves if necessary).

This code is only for testing, and it's only reachable by root through
debugfs, so this doesn't really have any impact; however, if we want to add
lockdep asserts into the GUP path, we need to have clean locking here.

This series should go on top of the coredump locking series (in
particular "mm/gup: Take mmap_lock in get_dump_page()"), which is
already in the mm tree.


Looks good. This also merges properly and still has the right semantics,
even after my gup_benchmark overhaul [1]. (Just have to change
mm/gup_benchmark.c to mm/gup_test.c).

The new needs_mmap_lock rule here still does the right thing, in other
words, after adding the new DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST (a non-fast variant).
