It's not redundant relative to upstream which does not do anything the

1-7 to see if something there made it redundant.

Oh, the hunk John had below for get_user_pages_remote() also needs to
call __gup_longterm_locked() when FOLL_LONGTERM is specified, then
that calls check_dax_vmas() which duplicates the vma_is_fsdax() check
above.

Oh true, good eye. It is redundant if it does additionally call
__gup_longterm_locked(), and it needs to do that otherwises it undoes
the CMA migration magic that Aneesh added.


OK. So just to be clear, I'll be removing this from the patch:

	/*
	 * The lifetime of a vaddr_get_pfn() page pin is
	 * userspace-controlled. In the fs-dax case this could
	 * lead to indefinite stalls in filesystem operations.
	 * Disallow attempts to pin fs-dax pages via this
	 * interface.
	 */
	if (ret > 0 && vma_is_fsdax(vmas[0])) {
		ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
		put_page(page[0]);
 	}

(and the declaration of "vmas", as well).
