After the removal of the device-public infrastructure there are only 2
->page_free() call backs in the kernel. One of those is a device-private
callback in the nouveau driver, the other is a generic wakeup needed in
the DAX case. In the hopes that all ->page_free() callbacks can be
migrated to common core kernel functionality, move the device-private
specific actions in __put_devmap_managed_page() under the
is_device_private_page() conditional, including the ->page_free()
callback. For the other page types just open-code the generic wakeup.

Yes, the wakeup is only needed in the MEMORY_DEVICE_FSDAX case, but it
does no harm in the MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX and MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA
case.

Hi John,

This applies on top of today's linux-next and passes my nvdimm unit
tests. That testing noticed that devmap_managed_enable_get() needed a
small fixup as well.

Got it. This will appear in the next posted version of my "mm/gup: track
dma-pinned pages: FOLL_PIN, FOLL_LONGTERM" patchset.

OK, so only MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE has .page_free ops. That looks
correct to me, based on looking at the .page_free setters--I
only see Nouveau setting it.


thanks,
