This is harmless. */ if (!folio_test_dirty(folio)) { folio_lock(folio); folio_mark_dirty(folio); folio_unlock(folio); } gup_put_folio(folio, nr, FOLL_PIN); } }

      unpins and dirties page

    30. static inline struct folio *gup_folio_next(struct page **list, unsigned long npages, unsigned long i, unsigned int *ntails) { struct folio *folio = page_folio(list[i]); unsigned int nr; for (nr = i + 1; nr < npages; nr++) { if (page_folio(list[nr]) != folio) break; } *ntails = nr - i; return folio; }

      gets folio of next page along with reference to end of folio

    31. static inline struct folio *gup_folio_range_next(struct page *start, unsigned long npages, unsigned long i, unsigned int *ntails) { struct page *next = nth_page(start, i); struct folio *folio = page_folio(next); unsigned int nr = 1; if (folio_test_large(folio)) nr = min_t(unsigned int, npages - i, folio_nr_pages(folio) - folio_page_idx(folio, next)); *ntails = nr; return folio; }

      gets the folio of the next page from start to 'i' range. also gets the tail folio/reference

    32. folio_ref_add(folio, GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS);

      function for adding reference

    33. void unpin_user_page(struct page *page) { sanity_check_pinned_pages(&page, 1); gup_put_folio(page_folio(page), 1, FOLL_PIN); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(unpin_user_page);

      actual policy use logic

    34. struct folio *folio = page_folio(page); if (WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_ref_count(folio) <= 0)) return -ENOMEM; if (unlikely(!(flags & FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA) && is_pci_p2pdma_page(page))) return -EREMOTEIO; if (flags & FOLL_GET) folio_ref_inc(folio);

      checks for code that is involved in policy but is not the actual logic

    35. else if (flags & FOLL_PIN) { /* * Don't take a pin on the zero page - it's not going anywhere * and it is used in a *lot* of places. */ if (is_zero_page(page)) return 0; /* * Similar to try_grab_folio(): be sure to *also* * increment the normal page refcount field at least once, * so that the page really is pinned. */ if (folio_test_large(folio)) { folio_ref_add(folio, 1); atomic_add(1, &folio->_pincount); } else { folio_ref_add(folio, GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS); } node_stat_mod_folio(folio, NR_FOLL_PIN_ACQUIRED, 1); }

      Logic that actually tries to grab the folio. Also policy use code and not actual policy

    36. if (!put_devmap_managed_page_refs(&folio->page, refs)) folio_put_refs(folio, refs);

      Definitely a vital and straightforward policy use section of gup that simples places a reference on the folio

    37. if (flags & FOLL_PIN) { if (is_zero_folio(folio)) return; node_stat_mod_folio(folio, NR_FOLL_PIN_RELEASED, refs); if (folio_test_large(folio)) atomic_sub(refs, &folio->_pincount); else refs *= GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS; }

      Checks if the folio is zero/large

    38. if (folio_test_large(folio)) atomic_add(refs, &folio->_pincount); else folio_ref_add(folio, refs * (GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS - 1))

      maintaining reference counts. Part of policy logic most likely

    39. if (unlikely((flags & FOLL_LONGTERM) && !folio_is_longterm_pinnable(folio))) { if (!put_devmap_managed_page_refs(&folio->page, refs)) folio_put_refs(folio, refs); return NULL;

      checks for longterm folio pins.

    40. if (unlikely(page_folio(page) != folio)) { if (!put_devmap_managed_page_refs(&folio->page, refs)) folio_put_refs(folio, refs); goto retry;

      Uses prediction to check if a folio still points to the page. This is part of the function that tries to retrieve the folio to confirm that it is associated with a page.

    41. folio = page_folio(page); if (WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_ref_count(folio) < 0)) return NULL; if (unlikely(!folio_ref_try_add(folio, refs))) return NULL;

      These increment the reference count for the folio since you're returning a reference of the folio. Important function so important internal logic subsequently

    42. if (is_zero_page(page) || !folio_test_anon(folio)) continue; if (!folio_test_large(folio) || folio_test_hugetlb(folio))

      Sanity checks for pinned pages wouldn't classify as policy logic but common sense pre-checks for the actual policy. But I think it's worth tagging this to gain a sense of what is not policy code
