Way back it was a reasonable assumptions that iomem mappings never change the pfn range they point at. But this has changed:
- gpu drivers dynamically manage their memory nowadays, invalidating ptes with unmap_mapping_range when buffers get moved
- contiguous dma allocations have moved from dedicated carvetouts to cma regions. This means if we miss the unmap the pfn might contain pagecache or anon memory (well anything allocated with GFP_MOVEABLE)
- even /dev/mem now invalidates mappings when the kernel requests that iomem region when CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is set, see 3234ac664a87 ("/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the region")
Accessing pfns obtained from ptes without holding all the locks is therefore no longer a good idea.
Unfortunately there's some users where this is not fixable (like v4l userptr of iomem mappings) or involves a pile of work (vfio type1 iommu). For now annotate these as unsafe and splat appropriately.
This patch adds an unsafe_follow_pfn, which later patches will then roll out to all appropriate places.
Also mark up follow_pfn as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. The only safe way to use that by drivers/modules is together with an mmu_notifier, and that's all _GPL stuff.
