From 008cfe4418b3dbda2ff820cdd7b1a5ce458ae444 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Xu Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2020 18:25:57 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Introduce mm_struct.has_pinned (Commit message majorly collected from Jason Gunthorpe) Reduce the chance of false positive from page_maybe_dma_pinned() by keeping track if the mm_struct has ever been used with pin_user_pages(). This allows cases that might drive up the page ref_count to avoid any penalty from handling dma_pinned pages. Future work is planned, to provide a more sophisticated solution, likely to turn it into a real counter. For now, make it atomic_t but use it as a boolean for simplicity.
