In gup_test both gup_flags and test_flags use the same flags field.
This is broken, because gup_flags can be passed as raw value (via -F hex),
which can overwrite all the test flags.

Farther, in the actual gup_test.c all the passed gup_flags are erased and
unconditionally replaced with FOLL_WRITE.

Which means that test_flags are ignored, and code like this always
performs pin dump test:

155  			if (gup->flags & GUP_TEST_FLAG_DUMP_PAGES_USE_PIN)
156  				nr = pin_user_pages(addr, nr, gup->flags,
157  						    pages + i, NULL);
158  			else
159  				nr = get_user_pages(addr, nr, gup->flags,
160  						    pages + i, NULL);
161  			break;

Add a new test_flags field, to allow raw gup_flags to work.
Add a new subcommand for DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST to specify that pin test
should be performed.
Remove  unconditional overwriting of gup_flags via FOLL_WRITE. But,
preserve the previous behaviour where FOLL_WRITE was the default flag,
and add a new option "-W" to unset FOLL_WRITE.

With the fix, dump works like this:

DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST: done

Refcount shows the difference between pin vs no-pin case.
Also change type of nr from int to long, as it counts number of pages.

Thanks for finding and fixing the "stuck at 0x1" bug!

The test is not quite as broken as you think, though, because you're not
looking at the history and intent of the FOLL_WRITE, and how that is used.
And that is leading you to make wider "fixes" than I'd recommend.

The new -F command line switch is the latest, newest (and therefore
flakiest) addition, and  *that* part is worth fixing up, because in
addition to being stuck at 0x1 as you noticed, it also misleads everyone
into thinking that it's intended for general gup flags. It's not.

It really was meant to be a subtest control flag (controlling the behavior
of the dump pages sub-test), as you can see in the commit log and documentation:

     For example:

         ./gup_test -ct -F 1 0 19 0x1000

     Meaning:
         -c:          dump pages sub-test
         -t:          use THP pages
         -F 1:        use pin_user_pages() instead of get_user_pages()
         0 19 0x1000: dump pages 0, 19, and 4096

This is still desirable; Kirill's original intention of only allowing
FOLL_WRITE or nothing is still what we want. There is no desire to pass
in general gup_flags.

I think .test_control_flags field would be a good name, to make it very
clear that it's not destined for gup_flags. Just .test_flags is not quite
as clear a distinction from .gup_flags, as .test_control_flags is, IMHO.

It's arguably better to just keep using the -c option instead, plus the new
.test_control_flags field. Otherwise you get a multiplication of possibilities
(and therefore, of command line options).

Nope, let's not do that.

Or that either.

Why? Is there a bug? gup only handles int sized amounts of pages so this
is just adding to the churn, yes?

Let's leave that alone, as noted above.

And also as noted above I don't think we need this or any of the remaining
hunks below.

And maybe renaming .flags to .gup_flags, just to make it really clear.
