Subject: [PATCH v4] mm/swap: Fix release_pages() when releasing devmap pages
Date: Wed,  5 Jun 2019 14:49:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190605214922.17684-1-ira.weiny@intel.com> (raw)

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

release_pages() is an optimized version of a loop around put_page().
Unfortunately for devmap pages the logic is not entirely correct in
release_pages().  This is because device pages can be more than type
MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC.  There are in fact 4 types, private, public, FS
DAX, and PCI P2PDMA.  Some of these have specific needs to "put" the
page while others do not.

This logic to handle any special needs is contained in
put_devmap_managed_page().  Therefore all devmap pages should be
processed by this function where we can contain the correct logic for a
page put.

Handle all device type pages within release_pages() by calling
put_devmap_managed_page() on all devmap pages.  If
put_devmap_managed_page() returns true the page has been put and we
continue with the next page.  A false return of
put_devmap_managed_page() means the page did not require special
processing and should fall to "normal" processing.

This was found via code inspection while determining if release_pages()
and the new put_user_pages() could be interchangeable.[1]
