From: David Stevens <redacted> Return a struct kvm_pfn_page containing both a pfn and an optional struct page from the gfn_to_pfn family of functions. This differentiates the gup and follow_fault_pfn cases, which allows callers that only need a pfn to avoid touching the page struct in the latter case. For callers that need a struct page, introduce a helper function that unwraps a struct kvm_pfn_page into a struct page. This helper makes the call to kvm_get_pfn which had previously been in hva_to_pfn_remapped. For now, wrap all calls to gfn_to_pfn functions in the new helper function. Callers which don't need the page struct will be updated in follow-up patches.

+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kvm_pfn_page_unwrap);I'd really like to see a tiny bit of documentation explaining that calls to kvm_pfn_page_unwrap() are not idempotent. Otherwise, looks good to me. Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
