Continuing the follow up from the thread for v2:

And actually if I'm understanding things correctly callers of
GUP/PUP/follow_page_pte() should already expect to get non-LRU pages
returned:

    page = vm_normal_page(vma, address, pte);
    if ((flags & FOLL_LRU) && page && is_zone_device_page(page))
        page = NULL;
    if (!page && pte_devmap(pte) && (flags & (FOLL_GET | FOLL_PIN))) {
        /*
         * Only return device mapping pages in the FOLL_GET or FOLL_PIN
         * case since they are only valid while holding the pgmap
         * reference.
         */
        *pgmap = get_dev_pagemap(pte_pfn(pte), *pgmap);
        if (*pgmap)
            page = pte_page(pte);

Which I think makes FOLL_LRU confusing, because if understand correctly
even with FOLL_LRU it is still possible for follow_page_pte() to return
a non-LRU page. Could we do something like this to make it consistent:

    if ((flags & FOLL_LRU) && (page && is_zone_device_page(page) ||
        !page && pte_devmap(pte)))

Looking at callers that currently use FOLL_LRU I don't think this would
change any behaviour as they already filter out devmap through various
other means.
