Er, they do technically deref the struct page:

nouveau_dmem_convert_pfn(struct nouveau_drm *drm,
struct hmm_range *range)
struct page *page;
page = hmm_pfn_to_page(range, range->pfns[i]);
if (!nouveau_dmem_page(drm, page)) {


nouveau_dmem_page(struct nouveau_drm *drm, struct page *page)
{
return is_device_private_page(page) && drm->dmem == page_to_dmem(page)


Which does touch 'page->pgmap'

Is this OK without having a get_dev_pagemap() ?

Noting that the collision-retry scheme doesn't protect anything here
as we can have a concurrent invalidation while doing the above deref.
