Or am I missing a pending patch to put_user_pages() here? Juergen

Or am I > missing a pending patch to put_user_pages() here? > Hi Juergen, You are correct--this no longer handles the cases where pages[i] is NULL. It's intentional, though possibly wrong. :) I see that I should have added my standard blurb to this commit description. I missed this one, but some of the other patches have it. It makes the following, possibly incorrect claim: "This changes the release code slightly, because each page slot in the page_list[] array is no longer checked for NULL. However, that check was wrong anyway, because the get_user_pages() pattern of usage here never allowed for NULL entries within a range of pinned pages." The way I've seen these page arrays used with get_user_pages(), things are either done single page, or with a contiguous range. So unless I'm missing a case where someone is either a) releasing individual pages within a range (and thus likely messing up their count of pages they have), or b) allocating two gup ranges within the same pages[] array, with a gap between the allocations, ...then it should be correct. If so, then I'll add the above blurb to this patch's commit description. If that's not the case (both here, and in 3 or 4 other patches in this series, then as you said, I should add NULL checks to put_user_pages() and put_user_pages_dirty_lock(). thanks,

In this case it is not correct, but can easily be handled. The NULL case can occur only in an error case with the pages array filled partially or not at all. I'd prefer something like the attached patch here. Juergen

I'm not an expert in this code and have not looked at it carefully but that patch does seem to be the better fix than forcing NULL checks on everyone. Ira
