* pin_user_pages() - pin user pages in memory for use by other devices
< snip >
* @pages: array that receives pointers to the pages pinned.
* Should be at least nr_pages long. Or NULL, if caller
* only intends to ensure the pages are faulted in.

pin_user_pages(,, pages = NULL, );
gup_flags |= FOLL_PIN
__get_user_pages_locked
__get_user_pages

VM_BUG_ON(!!pages != !!(gup_flags & (FOLL_GET | FOLL_PIN)));
