[PATCH v1 3/3] arm: mm: support get_user_pages_fast

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Sun Sep 16 2018 - 20:47:23 EST


Recently, there was a report get_user_pages_fast helps app launching
speed due to reducing uninterruptible sleep time because we don't
need to contend for mmap_sem, I believe.

With get_user_pages_fast, that uniterruptible sleep time is reduced
about 5~10% by testing.
