Changes since v2 [1]: [1]: https://lwn.net/Articles/643437/ 1/ Linus pointed out that comparing a __pfn_t value against PAGE_OFFSET was both inefficient, when PAGE_OFFSET is a large constant, and incorrect for archs that set PAGE_OFFSET to zero. Instead, take advantage of the standard alignment of a 'struct page *' to store a set of flags. In this patch set the only flag defined is PFN_DEV to indicate "this pfn originated from device memory". A potential future flag is PFN_DEV_MAPPED if the device has arranged for an associated struct page for the __pfn_t. 2/ Fix DAX against pmem device disable/removal using kmap_atomic_pfn_t(). We can later exploit these annotations to protect against the "stray pointer problem" whereby a kernel bug in an unrelated part of the system causes inadvertent scribbling over pmem. 3/ Made the series easier to merge as it no longer causes compile errors by default for new usages of bv_page arriving in the next merge window. 4/ arch/x86/kernel/kmap.c => mm/pfn.c since it is generic functionality. 5/ Updated the kmap_atomic() helpers in bio.h to use kmap_atomic_pfn_t() Incremental diffstat: arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c | 9 +++++-- arch/x86/Kconfig | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/Makefile | 1 - block/bio.c | 4 +-- block/blk-core.c | 2 +- drivers/block/brd.c | 3 +-- drivers/block/pmem.c | 9 ++++--- drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c | 11 +++++--- fs/block_dev.c | 4 +-- fs/dax.c | 57 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- include/asm-generic/pfn.h | 73 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ include/linux/bio.h | 14 +++++----- include/linux/blk_types.h | 2 +- include/linux/blkdev.h | 7 +++-- init/Kconfig | 12 ++++----- mm/Makefile | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/kmap.c => mm/pfn.c | 0 17 files changed, 140 insertions(+), 71 deletions(-) rename arch/x86/kernel/kmap.c => mm/pfn.c (100%) While we wait for the debate [2] to settle about what to do about i/o paths that ostensibly require struct page, these patches enable a stacked/tiered storage driver to manage pmem fronting slower storage media.
