[PATCH 6/6] mm: track gup pages with page->dma_pinned_* fields

From: john . hubbard
Date: Fri Oct 12 2018 - 02:00:44 EST


From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch sets and restores the new page->dma_pinned_flags and
page->dma_pinned_count fields, but does not actually use them for
anything yet.

In order to use these fields at all, the page must be removed from
any LRU list that it's on. The patch also adds some precautions that
prevent the page from getting moved back onto an LRU, once it is
in this state.

This is in preparation to fix some problems that came up when using
devices (NICs, GPUs, for example) that set up direct access to a chunk
of system (CPU) memory, so that they can DMA to/from that memory.
