In CRIU, we need to be able to determine whether the page pinned by io_uring is still present in the same range in the process VMA. /proc/<pid>/pagemap gives us the PFN, hence using this helper we can establish this mapping easily from the iterator side. It is a simple wrapper over the in-kernel page_to_pfn helper, and ensures the passed in pointer is a struct page PTR_TO_BTF_ID. This is obtained from the bvec of io_uring_ubuf for the CRIU usecase.

If yes, no gpl is needed. Otherwe, it needs to be gpl.
I think it can already be obtained using /proc/<PID>/pagemap, so not needed.
Also, the helper is implemented in io_uring.c and the helper is used by tracing programs. Maybe we can put the helper in bpf_trace.c? The helper itself is not tied to io_uring, right?
Right, I'll move it outside CONFIG_IO_URING in v2. That's also why the build failed on this patch. -- Kartikeya
