Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: kpc2000: Convert put_page to put_user_page*()
Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2019 01:32:35 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190719200235.GA16122@bharath12345-Inspiron-5559> (raw)

There have been issues with coordination of various subsystems using
get_user_pages. These issues are better described in [1].

An implementation of tracking get_user_pages is currently underway
The implementation requires the use put_user_page*() variants to release
a reference rather than put_page(). The commit that introduced
put_user_pages, Commit fc1d8e7cca2daa18d2fe56b94874848adf89d7f5 ("mm: introduce
put_user_page*(), placeholder version").

The implementation currently simply calls put_page() within
put_user_page(). But in the future, it is to change to add a mechanism
to keep track of get_user_pages. Once a tracking mechanism is
implemented, we can make attempts to work on improving on coordination
between various subsystems using get_user_pages.

Changes since v1
	- Improved changelog by John's suggestion.
	- Moved logic to dirty pages below sg_dma_unmap
	and removed PageReserved check.
Changes since v2
	- Added back PageResevered check as suggested by John Hubbard.
	
The PageReserved check needs a closer look and is not worth messing
around with for now.

Matt, Could you give any suggestions for testing this patch?
    
If in-case, you are willing to pick this up to test. Could you
apply this patch to this tree
https://github.com/johnhubbard/linux/tree/gup_dma_core
and test it with your devices?
