vfio_group_pin_pages() and vfio_group_unpin_pages() are introduced to avoid inefficient search/check/ref/deref opertions associated with VFIO group as those in each calling into vfio_pin_pages() and vfio_unpin_pages(). VFIO group is taken as arg directly. The callers combine search/check/ref/deref operations associated with VFIO group by calling vfio_group_get_external_user()/vfio_group_get_external_user_from_dev() beforehand, and vfio_group_put_external_user() afterwards.

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.
