* mm/hmm: add default fault flags to avoid the need to pre-fill pfns arraysJérôme Glisse2019-05-141-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The HMM mirror API can be use in two fashions. The first one where the HMM user coalesce multiple page faults into one request and set flags per pfns for of those faults. The second one where the HMM user want to pre-fault a range with specific flags. For the latter one it is a waste to have the user pre-fill the pfn arrays with a default flags value. This patch adds a default flags value allowing user to set them for a range without having to pre-fill the pfn array.

* mm/hmm: improve driver API to work and wait over a rangeJérôme Glisse2019-05-141-4/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A common use case for HMM mirror is user trying to mirror a range and before they could program the hardware it get invalidated by some core mm event. Instead of having user re-try right away to mirror the range provide a completion mechanism for them to wait for any active invalidation affecting the range. This also changes how hmm_range_snapshot() and hmm_range_fault() works by not relying on vma so that we can drop the mmap_sem when waiting and lookup the vma again on retry.

* mm/hmm: improve and rename hmm_vma_fault() to hmm_range_fault()Jérôme Glisse2019-05-141-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Minor optimization around hmm_pte_need_fault(). Rename for consistency between code, comments and documentation. Also improves the comments on all the possible returns values. Improve the function by returning the number of populated entries in pfns array.

* Merge branch 'mm-rst' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet2018-04-161-192/+204
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mike Rapoport says: These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an initial index and link it to the top level documentation. There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and paragraph wrapping changes. I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not necessary. [jc: significant conflicts in vm/hmm.rst]
