[PATCH v2] drm/radeon: switch from get_user_pages to pin_user_pages

From: Seongjun Hong

Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 11:29:06 EST


Switch old api get_user_pages to pin_user_pages according to [1].
It guarantees these DMA pages are pinned.

Also pass FOLL_LONGTERM: these userptr pages stay pinned for the
lifetime of the GEM userptr BO's GART binding, not just for the
duration of a single call, so this is a long-term pin.
