[v4,22/25] device/dax: Properly refcount device dax pages when mapping

Commit Message

Alistair Popple Dec. 17, 2024, 5:13 a.m. UTC

Device DAX pages are currently not reference counted when mapped,
instead relying on the devmap PTE bit to ensure mapping code will not
get/put references. This requires special handling in various page
table walkers, particularly GUP, to manage references on the
underlying pgmap to ensure the pages remain valid.

However there is no reason these pages can't be refcounted properly at
map time. Doning so eliminates the need for the devmap PTE bit,
freeing up a precious PTE bit. It also simplifies GUP as it no longer
needs to manage the special pgmap references and can instead just
treat the pages normally as defined by vm_normal_page().
