[PATCH 3/3] sgi-gru: Use __get_user_pages_fast in atomic_pte_lookup

From: Bharath Vedartham
Date: Sun Jul 21 2019 - 11:58:33 EST


*pte_lookup functions get the physical address for a given virtual
address by getting a physical page using gup and use page_to_phys to get
the physical address.

Currently, atomic_pte_lookup manually walks the page tables. If this
function fails to get a physical page, it will fall back too
non_atomic_pte_lookup to get a physical page which uses the slow gup
path to get the physical page.

Instead of manually walking the page tables use __get_user_pages_fast
which does the same thing and it does not fall back to the slow gup
path.

This is largely inspired from kvm code. kvm uses __get_user_pages_fast
in hva_to_pfn_fast function which can run in an atomic context.
