put_user_page(). In this case, do so via put_user_pages_dirty_lock().

That has the side effect of calling set_page_dirty_lock(), instead
of set_page_dirty(). This is probably more accurate.

Maybe more accurate but it doesn't work for mm_iommu_unpin(). As I'm
checking mm_iommu_unpin() gets called from RCU callback which is executed
interrupt context and you cannot lock pages from such context. So you need
to queue work from the RCU callback and then do the real work from the
workqueue...

ah yes, fixed locally. (In order to avoid  distracting people during the merge
window, I won't post any more versions of the series until the merge window is
over, unless a maintainer tells me that any of these patches are desired for
5.5.)

With that, we are back to a one-line diff for this part:

@@ -215,7 +214,7 @@ static void mm_iommu_unpin(struct mm_iommu_table_group_mem_t *mem)
                if (mem->hpas[i] & MM_IOMMU_TABLE_GROUP_PAGE_DIRTY)
                        SetPageDirty(page);
- put_page(page);
+               put_user_page(page);
                mem->hpas[i] = 0;
        }
 }

btw, I'm also working on your feedback for patch 17 (mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages [1]),
from a few days earlier, it's not being ignored, I'm just trying to avoid distracting
people during the merge window.
