Check physical PFN is valid before converting the PFN to a struct page pointer to be returned to caller of vfio_pin_pages(). vfio_pin_pages() pins user pages with contiguous IOVA. If the IOVA of a user page to be pinned belongs to vma of vm_flags VM_PFNMAP, pin_user_pages_remote() will return -EFAULT without returning struct page address for this PFN. This is because usually this kind of PFN (e.g. MMIO PFN) has no valid struct page address associated. Upon this error, vaddr_get_pfns() will obtain the physical PFN directly. While previously vfio_pin_pages() returns to caller PFN arrays directly, after commit |

README
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.
