KVM: Pin (as in FOLL_PIN) pages during kvm_vcpu_map()
Pin, as in FOLL_PIN, pages when mapping them for direct access by KVM.
As per Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, writing to a page that
was gotten via FOLL_GET is explicitly disallowed.
Correct (uses FOLL_PIN calls):
pin_user_pages()
write to the data within the pages
unpin_user_pages()
INCORRECT (uses FOLL_GET calls):
get_user_pages()
write to the data within the pages
put_page()
Unfortunately, FOLL_PIN is a "private" flag, and so kvm_follow_pfn must
use a one-off bool instead of being able to piggyback the "flags" field.
