John Hubbard 94efde1d15 mm/gup: avoid an unnecessary allocation call for FOLL_LONGTERM cases 
commit 53ba78de06 ("mm/gup: introduce
check_and_migrate_movable_folios()") created a new constraint on the
pin_user_pages*() API family: a potentially large internal allocation must
now occur, for FOLL_LONGTERM cases.

A user-visible consequence has now appeared: user space can no longer pin
more than 2GB of memory anymore on x86_64.  That's because, on a 4KB
PAGE_SIZE system, when user space tries to (indirectly, via a device
driver that calls pin_user_pages()) pin 2GB, this requires an allocation
of a folio pointers array of MAX_PAGE_ORDER size, which is the limit for
kmalloc().

In addition to the directly visible effect described above, there is also
the problem of adding an unnecessary allocation.  The **pages array
argument has already been allocated, and there is no need for a redundant
**folios array allocation in this case.

Fix this by avoiding the new allocation entirely.  This is done by
referring to either the original page[i] within **pages, or to the
associated folio.  Thanks to David Hildenbrand for suggesting this
approach and for providing the initial implementation (which I've tested
and adjusted slightly) as well.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
