The AI review says that this will force all small folios through the mapping check (which we obviously need later :) ). It brings up two cases where page->mapping is not set up: 1) ZONE_DEVICE pages (like Device DAX and PCI P2PDMA) 2) large shmem folios in the swap cache 2) doesn't make sense, because the folio cannot be mapped in user space when that happens. I am also skeptical about 1), especially as large folios are also supported for device dax and would be problematic here. __dev_dax_pte_fault() clearly sets folio->mapping through dax_set_mapping(). If 1) is ever a case we could allow them by checking for folio_is_zone_device(). But I am not sure if that is really required. Sounds weird. -- Cheers, David
