+Subject: [PATCH] vmmon: use get_user_pages to get page PFN
+
+As a side effect of mainline commit 0d940a9b270b ("mm/pgtable: allow
+pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail") in 6.5-rc1, __pte_offset_map(), called by
+pte_offset_map(), is no longer exported. WMware developers decided to hack
+around this by replacing pte_offset_map() by pte_offset_kernel() which does
+not seem to be a good idea and apparently may trigger warn checks in RCU
+code on some systems as mentioned in the discussion on issue #223.
+Therefore let's use the same solution as we had for 17.0.2 and older
+versions as it does not show these problems.
+
+Based on an upstream IRC discussion and the hva_to_pfn_*() family of
+functions in KVM code, what PgtblVa2MPNLocked() does seems to be an
+incomplete and partial open coded logic of get_user_pages() and as it is
+only used to get PFN from a virtual address, it can be easily implemented
+using get_user_pages() family.
+
+Without knowledge what exactly are the PFNs used for in VMware, it is hard
+to guess the right flags, these seem to work and have been tested by
+multiple users over last few weeks.
+
+We could likely use get_user_pages() also on older kernels and it might be
+actually cleaner and more reliable as existing open coded implementation
+does not seem to handle some corner cases but without knowledge of VMware
+internals, it will be safer to stick to existing code where possible.
