[PATCH v6 19/26] proc/task_mmu: Mark devdax and fsdax pages as always unpinned

From: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>
Date: 2025-01-10 06:03:00
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-cxl, linux-doc, linux-ext4, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, linux-xfs, lkml, loongarch, nvdimm
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), memory mapping, proc filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Andrew Morton, Liam R. Howlett, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds

The procfs mmu files such as smaps and pagemap currently ignore devdax and
fsdax pages because these pages are considered special. A future change
will start treating these as normal pages, meaning they can be exposed via
smaps and pagemap.

The only difference is that devdax and fsdax pages can never be pinned for
DMA via FOLL_LONGTERM, so add an explicit check in pte_is_pinned() to
reflect that.

Changes for v5:

 - After discussion with David remove the checks for DAX pages for
   smaps and pagemap walkers. This means DAX pages will now appear in
   those procfs files.
