NOTE: This series depends on my clean up patch to remove the write parameter from gup_fast_permitted()[1]
HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to it performance advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping of FS DAX pages.
Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also shown interest in using this functionality.[2]
In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call.

Any comments on this series? I've touched a lot of subsystems which I think require review.
Thanks, Ira
