Uh ? How so ? We are not reading the same code i think.
My read is that function is call when holding the device
lock which exclude any racing mmu notifier from making
forward progress and it is also protected by the range so
at the time this happens it is safe to dereference the
struct page. In this case any way we can update the
nouveau_dmem_page() to check that page page->pgmap == the
expected pgmap.
