has_pinned cannot be written by each pin-fast or it won't scale in SMP. This isn't "false sharing" strictly speaking (it's more like "true non-sharing"), but it creates the same SMP scalability bottleneck of "false sharing". To verify the improvement, below test is done on 40 cpus host with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz (must be with CONFIG_GUP_TEST=y): $ sudo chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -a -m 512 -j 40 Where we can get (average value for 40 threads): Old kernel: 477729.97 (+- 3.79%) New kernel: 89144.65 (+-11.76%) On a similar condition with 256 cpus, this commits increases the SMP scalability of pin_user_pages_fast() executed by different threads of the same process by more than 4000%.

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.
