[RFC PATCH v2 13/19] {mm,file}: Add file_pins objects

From: ira . weiny
Date: Fri Aug 09 2019 - 18:59:15 EST


From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

User page pins (aka GUP) needs to track file information of files being
pinned by those calls. Depending on the needs of the caller this
information is stored in 1 of 2 ways.

1) Some subsystems like RDMA associate GUP pins with file descriptors
which can be passed around to other process'. In this case a file
being pined must be associated with an owning file object (which can
then be resolved back to any of the processes which have a file
descriptor 'pointing' to that file object).

2) Other subsystems do not have an owning file and can therefore
associate the file pin directly to the mm of the process which
created them.

This patch introduces the new file pin structures and ensures struct
file and struct mm_struct are prepared to store them.

In subsequent patches the required information will be passed into new
pin page calls and procfs is enhanced to show this information to the user.
