From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <redacted> Add a _PAGE_DEVMAP bit for PTE and DAX PMD entires. PowerPC doesn't currently support PUD faults so we haven't extended it to the PUD level. Cc: Aneesh Kumar K.V <redacted> Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com>
Few changes we would need. We will now need to make sure a devmap pmd entry is not confused with THP. ie, we should compare against _PAGE_PTE and _PAGE_DEVMAP in pmd_trans_huge(). hash already has one bit we use to differentiate between hugetlb and THP. May be we can genarlize this and come up with a way to differentiate THP, HUGETLB,pmd DEVMAP entries ? also I don't see you handing get_user_pages_fast() ? -aneesh
