Subject: mm/memory: add vmf_insert_page_mkwrite()
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2025 09:48:10 +1100
Currently to map a DAX page the DAX driver calls vmf_insert_pfn. This
creates a special devmap PTE entry for the pfn but does not take a
reference on the underlying struct page for the mapping. This is because
DAX page refcounts are treated specially, as indicated by the presence of
a devmap entry.
To allow DAX page refcounts to be managed the same as normal page
refcounts introduce vmf_insert_page_mkwrite(). This will take a reference
on the underlying page much the same as vmf_insert_page, except it also
permits upgrading an existing mapping to be writable if
requested/possible.
