Patch series "mm/gup: consistently call it GUP-fast".
Some cleanups around function names, comments and the config option of
"GUP-fast" -- GUP without "lock" safety belts on.
With this cleanup it's easy to judge which functions are GUP-fast
specific. We now consistently call it "GUP-fast", avoiding mixing it with
"fast GUP", "lockless", or simply "gup" (which I always considered
confusing in the ode).
So the magic now happens in functions that contain "gup_fast", whereby
gup_fast() is the entry point into that magic. Comments consistently
reference either "GUP-fast" or "gup_fast()".
This patch (of 3):
Let's consistently call the "fast-only" part of GUP "GUP-fast" and rename
all relevant internal functions to start with "gup_fast", to make it
clearer that this is not ordinary GUP. The current mixture of "lockless",
"gup" and "gup_fast" is confusing.
Further, avoid the term "huge" when talking about a "leaf" -- for example,
we nowadays check pmd_leaf() because pmd_huge() is gone. For the
"hugepd"/"hugepte" stuff, it's part of the name ("is_hugepd"), so that
stays.
What remains is the "external" interface:
* get_user_pages_fast_only()
* get_user_pages_fast()
* pin_user_pages_fast()
The high-level internal functions for GUP-fast (+slow fallback) are now:
* internal_get_user_pages_fast() -> gup_fast_fallback()
* lockless_pages_from_mm() -> gup_fast()
The basic GUP-fast walker functions:
* gup_pgd_range() -> gup_fast_pgd_range()
* gup_p4d_range() -> gup_fast_p4d_range()
* gup_pud_range() -> gup_fast_pud_range()
* gup_pmd_range() -> gup_fast_pmd_range()
* gup_pte_range() -> gup_fast_pte_range()
* gup_huge_pgd() -> gup_fast_pgd_leaf()
* gup_huge_pud() -> gup_fast_pud_leaf()
* gup_huge_pmd() -> gup_fast_pmd_leaf()
The weird hugepd stuff:
* gup_huge_pd() -> gup_fast_hugepd()
* gup_hugepte() -> gup_fast_hugepte()
The weird devmap stuff:
* __gup_device_huge_pud() -> gup_fast_devmap_pud_leaf()
* __gup_device_huge_pmd -> gup_fast_devmap_pmd_leaf()
* __gup_device_huge() -> gup_fast_devmap_leaf()
* undo_dev_pagemap() -> gup_fast_undo_dev_pagemap()
Helper functions:
* unpin_user_pages_lockless() -> gup_fast_unpin_user_pages()
* gup_fast_folio_allowed() is already properly named
* gup_fast_permitted() is already properly named
With "gup_fast()", we now even have a function that is referred to in
comment in mm/mmu_gather.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
