The only time when granted pages need to be treated specially is when using Xen''s PTE modification for grant mappings owned by another domain. Otherwise, the area does not require VM_DONTCOPY and VM_PFNMAP, since it can be accessed just like any other page of RAM.

Since when we are using the m2p_override it is not true anymore that the mmap''ed area doesn''t have corresponsing struct pages. Removing the VM_PFNMAP flag makes get_user_pages work on the mmap''ed user vma. An example test case would be using a Xen userspace block backend (QDISK) on a file on NFS using O_DIRECT. The patch should be backported back to 2.6.38.

Since we are using the m2p_override we do have struct pages corresponding to the user vma mmap''ed by gntdev. Removing the VM_PFNMAP flag makes get_user_pages work on that vma.

This flag controls the meaning of gnttab_map_grant_ref.host_addr and specifies that the field contains a refernce to the pte entry to be used to perform the mapping. Therefore move the use of this flag to the point at which we actually use a reference to the pte instead of something else, splitting up the usage of the flag in this way is confusing and potentially error prone. The other flags are

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at mellanox.com> gntdev simply wants to monitor a specific VMA for any notifier events, this can be done straightforwardly using mmu_range_notifier_insert() over the VMA's VA range. The notifier should be attached until the original VMA is destroyed. It is unclear if any of this is even sane, but at least a lot of duplicate code is removed. Cc: Oleksandr

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at mellanox.com> 8 of the mmu_notifier using drivers (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1, scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm) drivers are using a common pattern where they only use invalidate_range_start/end and immediately check the invalidating range against some driver data structure to tell if the driver is interested. Half of them use an interval_tree, the others
