4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> commit 2bb6d2837083de722bfdc369cb0d76ce188dd9b4 upstream. Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2. Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to keep an elevated page count indefinitely. This is distinct from usages like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient. The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation completes (under kernel control). In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page reference at some undefined point in the future. This is untenable for filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait for pages in a mapping to become idle. Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for a later patch series. Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references. I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings were supported by the kernel. The behavior regression this policy change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting a filesystem in dax mode. It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same constraints since it does not support file space management operations like hole-punch. This patch (of 4): Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against filesytem-dax vmas. Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are explicitly allowed. This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease" mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and V4L2).
