Thanks for the patch! We are mostly getting there. Some smaller comments

Probably call this __unpin_devmap_managed_user_page()? To match the later
conversion of put_user_page() to unpin_user_page()?

Why don't you use grab_page() here? Also you seem to loose the head =
compound_head(page) indirection here for the FOLL_PIN case?

Are you sure this is correct? Historically we seem to have always had logic
like:
head = compound_head(pte_page / pmd_page / ... (orig))
in this code. And you removed this now. Looking at the code I'm not sure
whether the compound_head() indirection is really needed or not. We seem to
have already huge page head in the page table but maybe there's some subtle
case I'm missing. So I'd be calmer if we left the head=compound_head(...)
in the code but if you really want to remove it, I'd like to see Ack from
someone actually familiar with huge pages - e.g. Kirill Shutemov...
And even if we find out that compound_head() indirection isn't really
needed, that is big enough change in the logic that it would deserve to be
done in a separate patch (if only for debugging by bisection purposes).

Use grab_page() here?
