Subject talks about "*_pages"


Can you elaborate why the move from mm.h to memremap.h is justified?

Patch 2 adds is_device_coherent_page in memremap.h and updates is_longterm_pinnable_page to call is_device_coherent_page. memremap.h cannot include mm.h because it is itself included by mm.h. So the choice was to move is_longterm_pinnable_page to memremap.h, or move is_device_coherent_page and all its dependencies to mm.h. The latter would have been a bigger change.



I'd have called it "is_longterm_pinnable_page", but I am not a native
speaker, so no strong opinion :)

I think only the patch title has the name backwards. The code uses is_longterm_pinnable_page.
