Rather than use remap_pfn_range() for this and manually free later, switch to using vm_insert_page() and have it Just Work. This requires a bit of effort on the mmap lookup side, as the ctx uring_lock isn't held, which otherwise protects buffer_lists from being torn down, and it's not safe to grab from mmap context that would introduce an ABBA deadlock between the mmap lock and the ctx uring_lock. Instead, lookup the buffer_list under RCU, as the the list is RCU freed already. Use the existing reference count to determine whether it's possible to safely grab a reference to it (eg if it's not zero already), and drop that reference when done with the mapping. If the mmap reference is the last one, the buffer_list and the associated memory can go away, since the vma insertion has references to the inserted pages at that point.

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.
