[PATCH 2/2] mm/frame-vec: use FOLL_LONGTERM

[Daniel Vetter]

For $reasons I've stumbled over this code and I'm not sure the change
to the new gup functions in 55a650c35fea ("mm/gup: frame_vector:
convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()") was entirely correct.

This here is used for long term buffers (not just quick I/O) like
RDMA, and John notes this in his patch. But I thought the rule for
these is that they need to add FOLL_LONGTERM, which John's patch
didn't do.

There is already a dax specific check (added in b7f0554a56f2 ("mm:
fail get_vaddr_frames() for filesystem-dax mappings")), so this seems
like the prudent thing to do.

Hi all,

I stumbled over this and figured typing this patch can't hurt. Really
just to maybe learn a few things about how gup/pup is supposed to be
used (we have a bit of that in drivers/gpu), this here isn't really
ralated to anything I'm doing.

I'm also wondering whether the explicit dax check should be removed,
since FOLL_LONGTERM should take care of that already.
