mm: unexport __get_user_pages()
This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function. Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to this function from its one user, kvm. We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace __get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call stacks: get_user_page_nowait(): get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL) __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL, false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH) __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL) check_user_page_hwpoison(): get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL) __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH) __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL, NULL, NULL) Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
