virtiofs device has a range of memory which is mapped into file inodes using dax. This memory is mapped in qemu on host and maps different sections of real file on host. Size of this memory is limited (determined by administrator) and depending on filesystem size, we will soon reach a situation where all the memory is in use and we need to reclaim some. As part of reclaim process, we will need to make sure that there are no active references to pages (taken by get_user_pages()) on the memory range we are trying to reclaim. I am planning to use dax_layout_busy_page() for this. But in current form this is per inode and scans through all the pages of the inode. We want to reclaim only a portion of memory (say 2MB page). So we want to make sure that only that 2MB range of pages do not have any references (and don't want to unmap all the pages of inode). Hence, create a range version of this function named dax_layout_busy_page_range() which can be used to pass a range which needs to be unmapped.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
