This upgrade of insert_page_into_pte_locked() to handle write faults
deserves to be its own patch with rationale along the lines of:

"In preparation for using insert_page() for DAX, enhance
insert_page_into_pte_locked() to handle establishing writable mappings.
Recall that DAX returns VM_FAULT_NOPAGE after installing a PTE which
bypasses the typical set_pte_range() in finish_fault."

I was going to say that this should be creating a shared helper with
insert_pfn(), but on closer look the mkwrite case in insert_pfn() is now
dead code (almost, *grumbles about dcssblk*). So I would just mention
that in the changelog for this standalone patch and then we can follow
on with a cleanup like the patch at the bottom of this mail (untested).

The problem here is that we stubbornly have __dcssblk_direct_access() to
worry about. That is the only dax driver that does not return
pfn_valid() pfns.

In fact, it looks like __dcssblk_direct_access() is the only thing
standing in the way of the removal of pfn_t.

It turns out it has been 3 years since the last time the question of
bringing s390 fully into the ZONE_DEVICE regime was raised:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210820210318.187742e8@thinkpad/

Given that this series removes PTE_DEVMAP which was a stumbling block,
would it be feasible to remove CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED for a few kernel
cycles until someone from the s390 side can circle back to add full
ZONE_DEVICE support?

With insert_page_into_pte_locked() split out into its own patch and the
dcssblk issue resolved to kill that special case, this patch looks good
to me.

Subject: mm: Remove vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

Now that fsdax has switched to dax_insert_pfn() which uses
insert_page_into_pte_locked() internally, there are no more callers of
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite(). This also reveals that all remaining callers
of insert_pfn() never set @mkrite to true, so also cleanup insert_pfn()'s
@mkwrite argument.
