With the introduction of mapping_wrprotect_range() there is no need to use folio_mkclean() in order to write-protect mappings of frame buffer pages, and therefore no need to inappropriately set kernel-allocated page->index, mapping fields to permit this operation. Instead, store the pointer to the page cache object for the mapped driver in the fb_deferred_io object, and use the already stored page offset from the pageref object to look up mappings in order to write-protect them. This is justified, as for the page objects to store a mapping pointer at the point of assignment of pages, they must all reference the same underlying address_space object. Since the life time of the pagerefs is also the lifetime of the fb_deferred_io object, storing the pointer here makes sense. This eliminates the need for all of the logic around setting and maintaining page->index,mapping which we remove. This eliminates the use of folio_mkclean() entirely but otherwise should have no functional change.

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.
