Fork of reMarkable kernel https://github.com/reMarkable/linux
![]() Patch series "mm/devm_memremap_pages: Fix page release race", v2. Logan audited the devm_memremap_pages() shutdown path and noticed that it was possible to proceed to arch_remove_memory() before all potential page references have been reaped. Introduce a new ->cleanup() callback to do the work of waiting for any straggling page references and then perform the percpu_ref_exit() in devm_memremap_pages_release() context. For p2pdma this involves some deeper reworks to reference count resources on a per-instance basis rather than a per pci-device basis. A modified genalloc api is introduced to convey a driver-private pointer through gen_pool_{alloc,free}() interfaces. Also, a devm_memunmap_pages() api is introduced since p2pdma does not auto-release resources on a setup failure. The dax and pmem changes pass the nvdimm unit tests, and the p2pdma changes should now pass testing with the pci_p2pdma_release() fix. Jrme, how does this look for HMM? This patch (of 6): The devm_add_action() facility allows a resource allocation routine to add custom devm semantics. One such user is devm_memremap_pages(). There is now a need to manually trigger devm_memremap_pages_release(). Introduce devm_release_action() so the release action can be triggered via a new devm_memunmap_pages() api in a follow-on change.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
