If I understood this sub-thread correctly, iterating and freeing the pages

I did not get the reference to kernel/dma/remap.c though,
What I mean is the code in dma_common_find_pages, which returns the
page array for freeing.
Got it.

how to do the error unwind path in shmem_pin_map at which point the

walking vm area struct in there?
Yes. What I originally did (re-created as I didn't save it) would be
something like this:

Subject: drm/i915: use vmap in shmem_pin_map
shmem_pin_map somewhat awkwardly reimplements vmap using
alloc_vm_area and manual pte setup. The only practical difference
is that alloc_vm_area prefeaults the vmalloc area PTEs, which doesn't
seem to be required here (and could be added to vmap using a flag
if actually required).

Is there something in vmap() preventing us from freeing the pages array
here? I can't spot anything that is holding on to the pointer. Or it was
just a sketch before you realized we could walk the vm_area?
Also, I may be totally misunderstanding something, but I think you need
to assign area->pages manually so shmem_unpin_map can access it below.
err_page:
- if (mem != stack)
- kvfree(mem);
-
- __shmem_unpin_map(file, area->addr, pfn);
+ while (--i >= 0)
+ put_page(pages[i]);
+ kvfree(pages);
return NULL;
}
void shmem_unpin_map(struct file *file, void *ptr)
{
+ struct vm_struct *area = find_vm_area(ptr);
+ size_t i = shmem_npages(file);
+
+ if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!area || !area->pages))
+ return;
+
mapping_clear_unevictable(file->f_mapping);
- __shmem_unpin_map(file, ptr, shmem_npte(file));
+ for (i = 0; i < shmem_npages(file); i++)
+ put_page(area->pages[i]);
+ kvfree(area->pages);
+ vunmap(ptr);
Is the verdict from mm experts that we can't use vfree due __free_pages
vs put_page differences?
Could we get from ptes to pages, so that we don't have to keep the
area->pages array allocated for the duration of the pin?
