similar to: dev_pagemap related cleanups v2

Hi Dan, Jérôme and Jason, below is a series that cleans up the dev_pagemap interface so that it is more easily usable, which removes the need to wrap it in hmm and thus allowing to kill a lot of code Note: this series is on top of Linux 5.2-rc5 and has some minor conflicts with the hmm tree that are easy to resolve.

When acting on device private mappings a driver needs to know if the device (or other entity in case of kvmppc) actually owns this private mapping. This series adds an owner field and converts the migrate_vma code over to check it. I looked into doing the same for hmm_range_fault, but as far as I can tell that code has never been wired up to actually work for device private memory, so instead of

ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates the code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to check the reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup, compaction, migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count doesn't need to be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE. Signed-off-by: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell at

Matthew Wilcox, Ira Weiny, and others have complained that ZONE_DEVICE struct page reference counting is ugly because they are "free" when the reference count is one instead of zero. This leads to explicit checks for ZONE_DEVICE pages in places like put_page(), GUP, THP splitting, and page migration which have to adjust the expected reference count when determining if the page is

This is still an RFC because after looking at the pmem/dax code some more, I realized that the ZONE_DEVICE struct pages are being inserted into the process' page tables with vmf_insert_mixed() and a zero refcount on the ZONE_DEVICE struct page. This is sort of OK because insert_pfn() increments the reference count on the pgmap which is what prevents memunmap_pages() from freeing the struct

Add a flags field to struct dev_pagemap to replace the altmap_valid boolean to be a little more extensible. Also add a pgmap_altmap() helper to find the optional altmap and clean up the code using the altmap using it.

struct dev_pagemap is always embedded into a containing structure, so there is no need to an additional private data field.
