The vmapped pages shall be pinned in memory and previously get/put_pages() were implicitly hard-pinning/unpinning the pages. This will no longer be the case with addition of memory shrinker because pages_use_count > 0 won't determine anymore whether pages are hard-pinned (they will be soft-pinned), while the new pages_pin_count will do the hard-pinning. Switch the vmap/vunmap() to use pin/unpin() functions in a preparation of addition of the memory shrinker support to drm-shmem.

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 reStructuredText 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.
