In 2019, we introduced pin_user_pages*() and now we are converting
get_user_pages*() to the new API as appropriate. [1] & [2] could
be referred for more information. This is case 5 as per document [1].

[1] Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst

[2] "Explicit pinning of user-space pages":

Hi,

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

"true", not "1", is the correct way to call that function.

Also, this approach changes the behavior slightly, but I think it's
reasonable to just set_page_dirty_lock() on the whole range--hard to
see much benefit in checking PageDirty first.

Ok.

unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock() internally will do the same check after
patch [2/2]
So I thought to keep old and new code in sync. Shall we avoid this check ?

Correction, I forgot that I put that same if(!PageDirty(page)) check into
unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock(). So it doesn't change behavior. That's good.

Just leave it as you have it, but of course use "true" instead of 1, please.
