get_user_pages_unlocked(): pass true to __get_user_pages_locked() notify_drop
Equivalent transformation - the only place in __get_user_pages_locked() where we look at notify_drop argument is if (notify_drop && lock_dropped && *locked) { up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); *locked = 0; } in the very end. Changing notify_drop from false to true won't change behaviour unless *locked is non-zero. The caller is ret = __get_user_pages_locked(current, mm, start, nr_pages, pages, NULL, &locked, false, gup_flags | FOLL_TOUCH); if (locked) up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); so in that case the original kernel would have done up_read() right after return from __get_user_pages_locked(), while the modified one would've done it right before the return.
