This reverts commit54d516b1d6That commit did a refactoring that effectively combined fast and slow gup paths (again). And that was again incorrect, for two reasons: a) Fast gup and slow gup get reference counts on pages in different ways and with different goals: see Linus' writeup in commitcd1adf1b63("Revert "mm/gup: remove try_get_page(), call try_get_compound_head() directly""), and b) try_grab_compound_head() also has a specific check for "FOLL_LONGTERM && !is_pinned(page)", that assumes that the caller can fall back to slow gup. This resulted in new failures, as recently report by Will McVicker [1]. But (a) has problems too, even though they may not have been reported yet. So just revert this.

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.
