+ * __get_user_pages() - pin user pages in memory
+ * @tsk: task_struct of target task
+ * @mm: mm_struct of target mm
+ * @start: starting user address
+ * @nr_pages: number of pages from start to pin
+ * @gup_flags: flags modifying pin behaviour
+ * @pages: array that receives pointers to the pages pinned.
+ * Should be at least nr_pages long. Or NULL, if caller
+ * only intends to ensure the pages are faulted in.
+ * @vmas: array of pointers to vmas corresponding to each page.
+ * Or NULL if the caller does not require them.
+ * @nonblocking: whether waiting for disk IO or mmap_sem contention
+ *
+ * Returns number of pages pinned. This may be fewer than the number
+ * requested. If nr_pages is 0 or negative, returns 0. If no pages
+ * were pinned, returns -errno. Each page returned must be released
+ * with a put_page() call when it is finished with. vmas will only
+ * remain valid while mmap_sem is held.
+ *
+ * Must be called with mmap_sem held for read or write.
+ *
+ * __get_user_pages walks a process's page tables and takes a reference to
+ * each struct page that each user address corresponds to at a given
+ * instant. That is, it takes the page that would be accessed if a user
+ * thread accesses the given user virtual address at that instant.
+ *
+ * This does not guarantee that the page exists in the user mappings when
+ * __get_user_pages returns, and there may even be a completely different
+ * page there in some cases (eg. if mmapped pagecache has been invalidated
+ * and subsequently re faulted). However it does guarantee that the page
+ * won't be freed completely. And mostly callers simply care that the page
+ * contains data that was valid *at some point in time*. Typically, an IO
+ * or similar operation cannot guarantee anything stronger anyway because
+ * locks can't be held over the syscall boundary.
+ *
+ * If @gup_flags & FOLL_WRITE == 0, the page must not be written to. If
+ * the page is written to, set_page_dirty (or set_page_dirty_lock, as
+ * appropriate) must be called after the page is finished with, and
+ * before put_page is called.
+ *
+ * If @nonblocking != NULL, __get_user_pages will not wait for disk IO
+ * or mmap_sem contention, and if waiting is needed to pin all pages,
+ * *@nonblocking will be set to 0.
+ *
+ * In most cases, get_user_pages or get_user_pages_fast should be used
+ * instead of __get_user_pages. __get_user_pages should be used only if
+ * you need some special @gup_flags.
