Subject: [PATCH] vmmon: use get_user_pages to get page PFN
As a side effect of mainline commit 0d940a9b270b ("mm/pgtable: allow
pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail") in 6.5-rc1, __pte_offset_map(), called by
pte_offset_map(), is no longer exported. WMware developers decided to hack
around this by replacing pte_offset_map() by pte_offset_kernel() which does
not seem to be a good idea and apparently may trigger warn checks in RCU
code on some systems as mentioned in the discussion on issue #223.
Therefore let's use the same solution as we had for 17.0.2 and older
versions as it does not show these problems.
Based on an upstream IRC discussion and the hva_to_pfn_*() family of
functions in KVM code, what PgtblVa2MPNLocked() does seems to be an
incomplete and partial open coded logic of get_user_pages() and as it is
only used to get PFN from a virtual address, it can be easily implemented
using get_user_pages() family.
Without knowledge what exactly are the PFNs used for in VMware, it is hard
to guess the right flags, these seem to work and have been tested by
multiple users over last few weeks.
We could likely use get_user_pages() also on older kernels and it might be
actually cleaner and more reliable as existing open coded implementation
does not seem to handle some corner cases but without knowledge of VMware
internals, it will be safer to stick to existing code where possible.
