-/**
- * get_user_pages_fast() - pin user pages in memory
- * @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.
- *
- * get_user_pages_fast provides equivalent functionality to get_user_pages,
- * operating on current and current->mm, with force=0 and vma=NULL. However
- * unlike get_user_pages, it must be called without mmap_sem held.
- *
- * get_user_pages_fast may take mmap_sem and page table locks, so no
- * assumptions can be made about lack of locking. get_user_pages_fast is to be
- * implemented in a way that is advantageous (vs get_user_pages()) when the
- * user memory area is already faulted in and present in ptes. However if the
- * pages have to be faulted in, it may turn out to be slightly slower so
- * callers need to carefully consider what to use. On many architectures,
- * get_user_pages_fast simply falls back to get_user_pages.
- *
- * Return: 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.
