I'm really not sold on this scheme. Note that I think it is particularly bad, but it also doesn't seem any better than what we had before, and it introduced quite a bit more code.
Hi Christoph,
All by itself, yes. But the very next patch (which needs a little rework for other reasons, so not included here) needs to reuse some of these functions within __unpin_devmap_managed_user_page():
page_is_devmap_managed() free_devmap_managed_page()
That patch was posted as part of the v11 series [1], and it did this:
+#ifdef CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS +static bool __unpin_devmap_managed_user_page(struct page *page) +{ + int count; + + if (!page_is_devmap_managed(page)) + return false; + + count = page_ref_sub_return(page, GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS); + + __update_proc_vmstat(page, NR_FOLL_PIN_RETURNED, 1); + /* + * devmap page refcounts are 1-based, rather than 0-based: if + * refcount is 1, then the page is free and the refcount is + * stable because nobody holds a reference on the page. + */ + if (count == 1) + free_devmap_managed_page(page); + else if (!count) + __put_page(page); + + return true; +} +#else +static bool __unpin_devmap_managed_user_page(struct page *page) +{ + return false; +} +#endif /* CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS */ + +/** + * unpin_user_page() - release a dma-pinned page + * @page: pointer to page to be released + * + * Pages that were pinned via pin_user_pages*() must be released via either + * unpin_user_page(), or one of the unpin_user_pages*() routines.
