In the last version of this series, there was a discrepancy on how ->close() and ->page_mkwrite() were handled, as just the latter had a WARN. Matthew requested that they be the same, so this version adds an extra patch to add a WARN to the ->close() handling. Everything else remains the same. On a different note, I was wondering which tree should take this series. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback! Thanks, Martin Original cover letter: This patch series enables P2PDMA memory to be used in userspace RDMA transfers. With this series, P2PDMA memory mmaped into userspace (ie. only NVMe CMBs, at the moment) can then be used with ibv_reg_mr() (or similar) interfaces. This can be tested by passing a sysfs p2pmem allocator to the --mmap flag of the perftest tools. This requires addressing two issues: * Stop exporting kernfs VMAs with page_mkwrite, which is incompatible with FOLL_LONGTERM and is redudant since the default fault code has the same behavior as kernfs_vma_page_mkwrite() (i.e., call file_update_time()). * Remove the restriction on FOLL_LONGTREM with FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA which was initially put in place due to excessive caution with assuming P2PDMA would have similar problems to fsdax with unmap_mapping_range(). Seeing P2PDMA only uses unmap_mapping_range() on device unbind and immediately waits for all page reference counts to go to zero after calling it, it is actually believed to be safe from reuse and user access faults. See [1] for more discussion. This was tested using a Mellanox ConnectX-6 SmartNIC (MT28908 Family), using the mlx5_core driver, as well as an NVMe CMB. Thanks, Martin [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/87cypuvh2i.fsf@nvdebian.thelocal/T/ -- Changes in v5: - Add a WARN in the ->close() handling (per Matthew) Changes in v4: - Actually handle the WARN if someone sets ->page_mkwrite Changes in v3: - Change to WARN_ON() if an implementaion of kernfs sets .page_mkwrite() (Suggested by Christoph) - Removed fast-gup patch Changes in v2: - Remove page_mkwrite() for all kernfs, instead of creating a different vm_ops for p2pdma.
