ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates the
code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to check the
reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup, compaction,
migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count doesn't need to
be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE.

v2:
AS: merged this patch in linux 5.11 version

v5:
AS: add condition at try_grab_page to check for the zone device type, while
page ref counter is checked less/equal to zero. In case of device zone, pages
ref counter are initialized to zero.

v7:
AS: fix condition at try_grab_page added at v5, is invalid. It supposed
to fix xfstests/generic/413 test, however, there's a known issue on
this test where DAX mapped area DIO to non-DAX expect to fail.

That's certainly welcome. I just wonder what was the reason to use 1 in the
first place and why it's no longer necessary?

I'm sure this is a long story that I don't know most of the history.
I'm guessing that ZONE_DEVICE started out with a reference count of
one since that is what most "normal" struct page pages start with.
Then put_page() is used to free newly initialized struct pages to the
slab/slob/slub page allocator.
This made it easy to call get_page()/put_page() on ZONE_DEVICE pages
since get_page() asserts that the caller has a reference.
However, most drivers that create ZONE_DEVICE struct pages just insert
a PTE into the user page tables and don't increment/decrement the
reference count. MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX used the >1 to 1 reference count
transition to signal that a page was idle so that made put_page() a
bit more complex. Then MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE pages were added and this
special casing of what "idle" meant got more complicated and more parts
of mm had to check for is_device_private_page().
My goal was to make ZONE_DEVICE struct pages reference counts be zero
based and allocated/freed similar to the page allocator so that more
of the mm code could be used, like THP ZONE_DEVICE pages, without special
casing ZONE_DEVICE.

Thanks for the explanation. I was afraid there was something more fundamental
that required to catch the 2->1 refcount transition, seems like it's not. I
agree with the simplification!
