Use gfn_to_page_many_atomic() instead of gfn_to_pfn_memslot_atomic() when prefetching indirect PTEs (direct_pte_prefetch_many() already uses the "to page" APIS). Functionally, the two are subtly equivalent, as the "to pfn" API short-circuits hva_to_pfn() if hva_to_pfn_fast() fails, i.e. is just a wrapper for get_user_page_fast_only()/get_user_pages_fast_only(). Switching to the "to page" API will allow dropping the @atomic parameter from the entire hva_to_pfn() callchain.

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 reStructuredText 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.
