Subject[PATCH] mm: unexport __get_user_pages()
Date
This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function. Recent
refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be passed through
get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to this function from its
one user, kvm.

We can see that the 2 calls to get_user_pages() which replace __get_user_pages()
in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call stacks:

get_user_page_nowait():
get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
__get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
__get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)

check_user_page_hwpoison():
get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
__get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
__get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,
NULL, NULL)
