There are four locations in gup.c that have a fair amount of code
duplication. This means that changing one requires making the same
changes in four places, not to mention reading the same code four
times, and wondering if there are subtle differences.

Factor out the common code into static functions, thus reducing the
overall line count and the code's complexity.

Also, take the opportunity to slightly improve the efficiency of the
error cases, by doing a mass subtraction of the refcount, surrounded
by get_page()/put_page().

Also, further simplify (slightly), by waiting until the the successful
end of each routine, to increment *nr.

It's not terribly efficient. Maybe something like:

	VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) < ref, page);
	if (refs > 2)
		page_ref_sub(page, refs - 1);
	put_page(page);

?

OK, but how about this instead? I don't see the need for a "2", as that
is a magic number that requires explanation. Whereas "1" is not a magic
number--here it means: either there are "many" (>1) refs, or not.

And the routine won't be called with refs less than about 32 (2MB huge
page, 64KB base page == 32 subpages) anyway.

	VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) < refs, page);
	/*
	 * Calling put_page() for each ref is unnecessarily slow. Only the last
	 * ref needs a put_page().
	 */
	if (refs > 1)
		page_ref_sub(page, refs - 1);
	put_page(page);


thanks,

Yeah, it's my thinko. Sure, it has to be '1' (or >= 2, which is less readable).

It's hard to make predictions about future :P

Looks good to me.
