Alistair,

Ok, I think now I want to go slightly different direction here to give
GPUSVM a bit more control over several eviction scenarios.

What if I exported the helper discussed above, e.g.,

 905 unsigned long migrate_device_pfn_lock(unsigned long pfn)
 906 {
 907         struct folio *folio;
 908
 909         folio = folio_get_nontail_page(pfn_to_page(pfn));
 910         if (!folio)
 911                 return 0;
 912
 913         if (!folio_trylock(folio)) {
 914                 folio_put(folio);
 915                 return 0;
 916         }
 917
 918         return migrate_pfn(pfn) | MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE;
 919 }
 920 EXPORT_SYMBOL(migrate_device_pfn_lock);

And then also export migrate_device_unmap.

The usage here would be let a driver collect the device pages in virtual
address range via hmm_range_fault, lock device pages under notifier
lock ensuring device pages are valid, drop the notifier lock and call
migrate_device_unmap. Sima has strongly suggested avoiding a CPUVMA
lookup during eviction cases and this would let me fixup
drm_gpusvm_range_evict in [1] to avoid this.

It would also make the function exported in this patch unnecessary too
as non-contiguous pfns can be setup on driver side via
migrate_device_pfn_lock and then migrate_device_unmap can be called.
This also another eviction usage in GPUSVM, see drm_gpusvm_evict_to_ram
in [1].

Do you see an issue exporting migrate_device_pfn_lock,
migrate_device_unmap?
