[PATCH 07/12] huge_memory: Allow mappings of PMD sized pages

From: Alistair Popple
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 00:18:33 EST


Currently DAX folio/page reference counts are managed differently to
normal pages. To allow these to be managed the same as normal pages
introduce dax_insert_pfn_pmd. This will map the entire PMD-sized folio
and take references as it would for a normally mapped page.

This is distinct from the current mechanism, vmf_insert_pfn_pmd, which
simply inserts a special devmap PMD entry into the page table without
holding a reference to the page for the mapping.
