Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 20/27] mm/gup: NP_OPS_LONGTERM_PIN - private node longterm pin support
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 03:48:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260222084842.1824063-21-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260222084842.1824063-1-gourry@gourry.net>
Private node folios should not be longterm-pinnable by default.
A pinned folio is frozen in place, no migration, compaction, or
reclaim, so the service loses control for the duration of the pin.
Some services may depend on hot-unplugability and must disallow
longterm pinning. Others (accelerators with shared CPU-device state)
need pinning to work.
Add NP_OPS_LONGTERM_PIN flag for services to opt in with. Hook into
folio_is_longterm_pinnable() in mm.h, which all GUP callers
out-of-line helper, node_private_allows_longterm_pin(), called
only for N_MEMORY_PRIVATE nodes.
Without the flag: folio_is_longterm_pinnable() returns false, migration
fails (no __GFP_PRIVATE in GFP mask) and pin_user_pages(FOLL_LONGTERM)
returns -ENOMEM.
With the flag: pin succeeds and the folio stays on the private node.
