In support of enabling memory_failure() handling for device-dax mappings, set the ->mapping association of pages backing device-dax mappings. The rmap implementation requires page_mapping() to return the address_space hosting the vmas that map the page. The ->mapping pointer is never cleared. There is no possibility for the page to become associated with another address_space while the device is enabled. When the device is disabled the 'struct page' array for the device is destroyed / later reinitialized to zero.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
