Series [RFC,1/3] mm: refactor rmap_walk_file() to separate out traversal logic | expand

Commit Message

in the fb_defio video driver, page dirty state is used to determine when
frame buffer pages have been changed, allowing for batched, deferred I/O to
be performed for efficiency.

This implementation had only one means of doing so effectively - the use of
the folio_mkclean() function.

However, this use of the function is inappropriate, as the fb_defio
implementation allocates kernel memory to back the framebuffer, and then is
forced to specified page->index, mapping fields in order to permit the
folio_mkclean() rmap traversal to proceed correctly.

It is not correct to specify these fields on kernel-allocated memory, and
moreover since these are not folios, page->index, mapping are deprecated
fields, soon to be removed.

We therefore need to provide a means by which we can correctly traverse the
reverse mapping and write-protect mappings for a page backing an
address_space page cache object at a given offset.

This patch provides this - rmap_wrprotect_file_page() allows for this
operation to be performed for a specified address_space, offset and PFN,
without requiring a folio nor, of course, an inappropriate use of
page->index, mapping.

With this provided, we can subequently adjust the fb_defio implementation
to make use of this function and avoid incorrect invocation of
folio_mkclean() and more importantly, incorrect manipulation of
page->index, mapping fields.
