Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 2/4] mm/gup: remove pXX_devmap usage from get_user_pages()
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 21:34:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112023429.1348841-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112023429.1348841-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

[ Upstream commit fd2825b0760a10a9626986cca64f5664302ffdfc ]

GUP uses pXX_devmap() calls to see if it needs to a get a reference on the
associated pgmap data structure to ensure the pages won't go away.
However it's a driver responsibility to ensure that if pages are mapped
(ie.  discoverable by GUP) that they are not offlined or removed from the
memmap so there is no need to hold a reference on the pgmap data structure
to ensure this.

Furthermore mappings with PFN_DEV are no longer created, hence this
effectively dead code anyway so can be removed.
