[PATCH v3 03/14] mm: Remove remaining uses of PFN_DEV

From: Alistair Popple
Date: Thu Jun 19 2025 - 05:01:24 EST


PFN_DEV was used by callers of dax_direct_access() to figure out if the
returned PFN is associated with a page using pfn_t_has_page() or
not. However all DAX PFNs now require an assoicated ZONE_DEVICE page so can
assume a page exists.

Other users of PFN_DEV were setting it before calling
vmf_insert_mixed(). This is unnecessary as it is no longer checked, instead
relying on pfn_valid() to determine if there is an associated page or not.

Changes since v1:

- Removed usage of pfn_t_devmap() that was removed later in the series
to maintain bisectability as pointed out by Jonathan Cameron.

- Rebased on David's cleanup[1]
