This code was using get_user_pages(), in a "Case 2" scenario
(DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's
time to convert the get_user_pages() + release_pages() calls to
pin_user_pages() + unpin_user_pages() calls.

There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small
part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and
file systems' use of those pages.

Hi,

I'm compile tested this, but unable to run-time test, so any testing
help is much appriciated.

Maybe we also need a preceding patch, to fix the above? It should be
set_page_dirty_lock(), rather than set_page_dirty(), unless I'm overlooking
something (which is very possible!).

Either way, from a tunnel vision perspective of changing gup to pup, this
looks good to me, so
