Well, follow_pfn() is used only by videbuf-dma-contig.c. If this is the only part of VB1 that will have userptr broken, then there's just one driver that might be affected: davinci. Yet, taking a deeper look: $ git grep include drivers/media/platform/davinci/|grep -i videobuf drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpif_capture.h:#include <media/videobuf2-dma-contig.h> drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpif_display.h:#include <media/videobuf2-dma-contig.h> It sounds to me that it was already converted to VB2, but some VB1 symbols were not converted at its Kconfig. It sounds to me that there are other drivers with some VB1 left overs at Kconfig, as those are the only ones using VB1 those days: $ for i in $(git grep media/videobuf drivers |grep -v videobuf2 |grep -v v4l2-core|cut -d: -f1); do dirname $i; done|sort|uniq drivers/media/pci/bt8xx drivers/media/pci/cx18 drivers/media/platform drivers/media/usb/tm6000 drivers/media/usb/zr364xx drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci > But that > would be easy to add if this poses a problem I think - we just need > to carry over the pin_user_pages_fast logic from videbuf2, no driver > changes required.

Keeping a broken component at the Kernel is a bad idea. Yet, from my quick search above, it sounds to me that it is time for us to retire the VB1 DMA contig support as a hole, as there's no client for it anymore. I'll work on some patches cleaning up the VB1 left overs at Kconfig and removing videbuf-dma-contig.c for good, if there's no hidden dependency on it.
