Maybe split that as a separate trivial patch.

Please do the put_devmap_managed_page() changes in a separate
patch, it would be a lot easier to follow, also on that front
see comments below.

I think the __put_devmap_managed_page() should be rename
to free_devmap_managed_page() and that the count != 1
case move to this inline function ie:
static inline bool put_devmap_managed_page(struct page *page)
{
bool is_devmap = page_is_devmap_managed(page);
if (is_devmap) {
int count = page_ref_dec_return(page);
/*
* If refcount is 1 then page is freed and refcount is stable as nobody
* holds a reference on the page.
*/
if (count == 1)
free_devmap_managed_page(page, count);
else if (!count)
__put_page(page);
}
return is_devmap;
}

What about having it as an inline here as it is pretty small.

Maybe add a comment about a case that should never happens ie
user_page_ref_inc() fails after the second iteration of the
loop as it would be broken and a bug to call undo_dev_pagemap()
after the first iteration of that loop.
Also i believe that this should never happens as if first
iteration succeed than __page_cache_add_speculative() will
succeed for all the iterations.
Note that the pgmap case above follows that too ie the call to
get_dev_pagemap() can only fail on first iteration of the loop,
well i assume you can never have a huge device page that span
different pgmap ie different devices (which is a reasonable
assumption). So maybe this code needs fixing ie :
pgmap = get_dev_pagemap(pfn, pgmap);

return 0;

Maybe add a comments to explain, something like:

*
* Note that get_user_pages_fast() imply FOLL_GET flag by default but

While i agree that user_page_ref_inc() (ie page_cache_add_speculative())
should never fails here as we are holding the pmd lock and thus no one
can unmap the pmd and free the page it points to. I believe you should
return -EFAULT like for the pgmap and not -ENOMEM as the pgmap should
not fail either for the same reason. Thus it would be better to have
consistent error. Maybe also add a comments explaining that it should
not fail here.

Maybe add a comment that FOLL_GET or FOLL_PIN must be set.

This should not fail either as we are holding the pmd lock maybe add
a comment. Dunno if we want a WARN() or something to catch this
degenerate case, or dump the page.

user_page_ref_inc() should not fail here either because we hold the
ptl, so the WAR_ON_ONCE() is right but maybe add a comment.
