The p2pdma facility enables a provider to publish a pool of dma
addresses for a consumer to allocate. A genpool is used internally by
p2pdma to collect dma resources, 'chunks', to be handed out to
consumers. Whenever a consumer allocates a resource it needs to pin the
'struct dev_pagemap' instance that backs the chunk selected by
pci_alloc_p2pmem().
Currently that reference is taken globally on the entire provider
device. That sets up a lifetime mismatch whereby the p2pdma core needs
to maintain hacks to make sure the percpu_ref is not released twice.
This lifetime mismatch also stands in the way of a fix to
devm_memremap_pages() whereby devm_memremap_pages_release() must wait for
the percpu_ref ->release() callback to complete before it can proceed to
teardown pages.
So, towards fixing this situation, introduce the ability to store a 'chunk
owner' at gen_pool_add() time, and a facility to retrieve the owner at
gen_pool_{alloc,free}() time. For p2pdma this will be used to store and
recall individual dev_pagemap reference counter instances per-chunk.

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.
