get_user_pages_unlocked(): pass true to __get_user_pages_locked() notify_drop
Equivalent transformation - the only place in __get_user_pages_locked()
where we look at notify_drop argument is
if (notify_drop && lock_dropped && *locked) {
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
*locked = 0;
}
in the very end. Changing notify_drop from false to true won't change
behaviour unless *locked is non-zero. The caller is
ret = __get_user_pages_locked(current, mm, start, nr_pages, pages, NULL,
&locked, false, gup_flags | FOLL_TOUCH);
if (locked)
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
so in that case the original kernel would have done up_read() right after
return from __get_user_pages_locked(), while the modified one would've done
it right before the return.
