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, see3234ac664a("/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. Fix this. Since ioremap might need to manipulate pagetables too we need to drop the pt lock and have a retry loop if we raced. While at it, also add kerneldoc and improve the comment for the vma_ops->access function. It's for accessing, not for moving the memory from iomem to system memory, as the old comment seemed to suggest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
