Andreas Gruenbacher 923f05a660 gup: Turn fault_in_pages_{readable,writeable} into fault_in_{readable,writeable}
commit bb523b406c upstream

Turn fault_in_pages_{readable,writeable} into versions that return the
number of bytes not faulted in, similar to copy_to_user, instead of
returning a non-zero value when any of the requested pages couldn't be
faulted in.  This supports the existing users that require all pages to
be faulted in as well as new users that are happy if any pages can be
faulted in.

Rename the functions to fault_in_{readable,writeable} to make sure
this change doesn't silently break things.

Neither of these functions is entirely trivial and it doesn't seem
useful to inline them, so move them to mm/gup.c.

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 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.
