mm/gup: introduce unpin_folio/unpin_folios helpers
Patch series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios", v16. Currently, some drivers (e.g, Udmabuf) that want to longterm-pin the pages/folios associated with a memfd, do so by simply taking a reference on them. This is not desirable because the pages/folios may reside in Movable zone or CMA block. Therefore, having drivers use memfd_pin_folios() API ensures that the folios are appropriately pinned via FOLL_PIN for longterm DMA. This patchset also introduces a few helpers and converts the Udmabuf driver to use folios and memfd_pin_folios() API to longterm-pin the folios for DMA. Two new Udmabuf selftests are also included to test the driver and the new API. This patch (of 9): These helpers are the folio versions of unpin_user_page/unpin_user_pages. They are currently only useful for unpinning folios pinned by memfd_pin_folios() or other associated routines. However, they could find new uses in the future, when more and more folio-only helpers are added to GUP. We should probably sanity check the folio as part of unpin similar to how it is done in unpin_user_page/unpin_user_pages but we cannot cleanly do that at the moment without also checking the subpage. Therefore, sanity checking needs to be added to these routines once we have a way to determine if any given folio is anon-exclusive (via a per folio AnonExclusive flag).
