[PATCH v6 18/26] mm/gup: Don't allow FOLL_LONGTERM pinning of FS DAX pages

From: Alistair Popple
Date: Fri Jan 10 2025 - 01:08:42 EST


Longterm pinning of FS DAX pages should already be disallowed by
various pXX_devmap checks. However a future change will cause these
checks to be invalid for FS DAX pages so make
folio_is_longterm_pinnable() return false for FS DAX pages.
