Currently to map a DAX page the DAX driver calls vmf_insert_pfn. This creates a special devmap PTE entry for the pfn but does not take a reference on the underlying struct page for the mapping. This is because DAX page refcounts are treated specially, as indicated by the presence of a devmap entry. To allow DAX page refcounts to be managed the same as normal page refcounts introduce vmf_insert_page_mkwrite(). This will take a reference on the underlying page much the same as vmf_insert_page, except it also permits upgrading an existing mapping to be writable if requested/possible. Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com> --- Updates from v2: - Rename function to make not DAX specific - Split the insert_page_into_pte_locked() change into a separate patch. Updates from v1: - Re-arrange code in insert_page_into_pte_locked() based on comments from Jan Kara. - Call mkdrity/mkyoung for the mkwrite case, also suggested by Jan. --- include/linux/mm.h | 2 ++ mm/memory.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 38 insertions(+)
