Subject: [PATCH 1/8] mm/gup: break out gup_fill_pages() helper
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 14:30:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102193026.3860700-2-riel@surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102193026.3860700-1-riel@surriel.com>

__get_user_pages() fills pages[] and flushes each page's caches in an
open-coded loop.

Move it into a gup_fill_pages() helper, which the follow_page_mask()
call chain can then use to fill its own pages[] slots.

No functional changes intended.
