[PATCH 4/6] mm/gup: handle ZONE_DEVICE pages in folio_fast_pin_allowed()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



folio_fast_pin_allowed() does not support ZONE_DEVICE pages because
currently it is impossible for that type of page to be used with
FOLL_LONGTERM. When this changes in a subsequent patch, this path will
attempt to read the mapping of a ZONE_DEVICE page which is not valid.

Instead, allow ZONE_DEVICE pages explicitly seeing they shouldn't pose
any problem with the fast path.
