[PATCH v6 06/13] mm, dev_pagemap: Do not clear ->mapping on final put

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX relies on typical page semantics whereby ->mapping
is only ever cleared by truncation, not final put.

Without this fix dax pages may forget their mapping association at the
end of every page pin event.

Move this atypical behavior that HMM wants into the HMM ->page_free()
callback.
