Move to use hmm_range_fault() instead of get_user_pags_remote() to improve performance in a few aspects: This includes: - Dropping the need to allocate and free memory to hold its output - No need any more to use put_page() to unpin the pages - The logic to detect contiguous pages is done based on the returned order, no need to run per page and evaluate. In addition, moving to use hmm_range_fault() enables to reduce page faults in the system with it's snapshot mode, this will be introduced in next patches from this series. As part of this, cleanup some flows and use the required data structures to work with hmm_range_fault().

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.
