[PATCH v3 05/13] mm/page_vma_mapped: Add flag to page_vma_mapped_walk::flags to track device private pages

Jordan Niethe
2026-01-23T06:24:23Z

A future change will remove device private pages from the physical
address space. This will mean that device private pages no longer have
normal PFN and must be handled separately.

Prepare for this by adding a PVMW_DEVICE_PRIVATE flag to
page_vma_mapped_walk::flags. This indicates that
page_vma_mapped_walk::pfn contains a device private offset rather than a
normal pfn.

Once the device private pages are removed from the physical address
space this flag will be used to ensure a device private offset is
returned.

v1:
- Update for HMM huge page support
v2:
- Move adding device_private param to check_pmd() until final patch
v3:
- Track device private offset in pvmw::flags instead of pvmw::pfn
