Add Dan to the party :)
May i know whether there is any existing APIs to check whether
a va/page backs to a nvdimm/pmem ?

Great, i have added him.

My intention is to check if a memory region belongs to a nvdimm/pmem.
The approach is like that:
iova(user space)-+ +-> page -> page_in_dev_pagemap()
| |
+-> va(kernel space) -+
Since current MR's va is associated with map_set where it record the relations
between iova and va and page. Do do you mean we should travel map_set to
get its page ? or by any other ways.

Indeed, it's not strong necessary. but i think is_pmem should belongs to a ib_mr
so that it can be checked by other general code when they needed even though no
one does such checking so far.
