[PATCH v1 02/14] mm: remove extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount

Alex Sierra
2021-08-25T03:49:11Z

From: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com>

ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates the
code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to check the
reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup, compaction,
migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count doesn't need to
be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE.

v2:
AS: merged this patch in linux 5.11 version

v5:
AS: add condition at try_grab_page to check for the zone device type, while
page ref counter is checked less/equal to zero. In case of device zone, pages
ref counter are initialized to zero.

v7:
AS: fix condition at try_grab_page added at v5, is invalid. It supposed
to fix xfstests/generic/413 test, however, there's a known issue on
this test where DAX mapped area DIO to non-DAX expect to fail.

This condition was removed after rebase over patch series
