Linux kernel source tree
Currently DAX folio/page reference counts are managed differently to normal pages. To allow these to be managed the same as normal pages introduce vmf_insert_folio_pmd. This will map the entire PMD-sized folio and take references as it would for a normally mapped page. This is distinct from the current mechanism, vmf_insert_pfn_pmd, which simply inserts a special devmap PMD entry into the page table without holding a reference to the page for the mapping. It is not currently useful to implement a more generic vmf_insert_folio() which selects the correct behaviour based on folio_order(). This is because PTE faults require only a subpage of the folio to be PTE mapped rather than the entire folio. It would be possible to add this context somewhere but callers already need to handle PTE faults and PMD faults separately so a more generic function is not useful.

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 reStructuredText 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.
