If CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE is defined, but neither CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE nor
CONFIG_MIGRATION, then non_swap_entry() will return 0, meaning that the
condition (non_swap_entry(entry) && is_device_private_entry(entry)) in
zap_pte_range() will never be true even if the entry is a device private
one.
Equally any other code depending on non_swap_entry() will not function as
expected.
I originally spotted this just by looking at the code, I haven't actually
observed any problems.
Looking a bit more closely it appears that actually this situation
(currently at least) cannot occur:
DEVICE_PRIVATE depends on ZONE_DEVICE
ZONE_DEVICE depends on MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
MEMORY_HOTREMOVE depends on MIGRATION
Fixes: 5042db43cc ("mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory")

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.
