The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the VMA directly. In particular:- - __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply remove it. - __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the code. We are able to perform these VMA operations as we already hold the mmap_lock in order to be able to call get_user_pages_remote(). As part of this work we add get_user_page_vma_remote() which abstracts the VMA lookup, error handling and decrementing the page reference count should the VMA lookup fail. This forms part of a broader set of patches intended to eliminate the vmas parameter altogether.

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 Restructured Text 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.
