3. Dead code removal: the check for (user_virt & ~page_mask)
is checking for a condition that can never happen,
because earlier:

     user_virt = user_virt & page_mask;

...so, remove that entire phrase.

          bcnt -= min_t(size_t, npages << PAGE_SHIFT, bcnt);
          mutex_lock(&umem_odp->umem_mutex);
          for (j = 0; j < npages; j++, user_virt += PAGE_SIZE) {
-            if (user_virt & ~page_mask) {
-                p += PAGE_SIZE;
-                if (page_to_phys(local_page_list[j]) != p) {
-                    ret = -EFAULT;
-                    break;
-                }
-                put_page(local_page_list[j]);
-                continue;
-            }
-

I think this is trying to account for compound pages. (ie page_mask could
represent more than PAGE_SIZE which is what user_virt is being incrimented by.)
But putting the page in that case seems to be the wrong thing to do?

Yes this was added by Artemy[1] now cc'ed.

Right, this is for huge pages, please keep it.
put_page() needed to decrement refcount of the head page.


OK, thanks for explaining! Artemy, while you're here, any thoughts about the
release_pages, and the change of the starting point, from the other part of the patch:

@@ -684,9 +677,11 @@ int ib_umem_odp_map_dma_pages(struct ib_umem_odp *umem_odp, u64 user_virt,
	mutex_unlock(&umem_odp->umem_mutex);

 		if (ret < 0) {
-			/* Release left over pages when handling errors. */
-			for (++j; j < npages; ++j)
-				put_page(local_page_list[j]);
+			/*
+			 * Release pages, starting at the the first page
+			 * that experienced an error.
+			 */
+			release_pages(&local_page_list[j], npages - j);
 			break;
 		}
 	}

?

thanks,
