The GUP family of functions have a complex, but fairly well defined, set of invariants for their arguments. Currently these are sprinkled about, sometimes in duplicate through many functions. Internally we don't follow all the invariants that the external interface has to follow, so place these checks directly at the exported interface. This ensures the internal functions never reach a violated invariant. Remove the duplicated invariant checks. The end result is to make these functions fully internal: __get_user_pages_locked() internal_get_user_pages_fast() __gup_longterm_locked() And all the other functions call directly into one of these.

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.
