Merge branch 'hmm-devmem-cleanup.4' into rdma.git hmm
Christoph Hellwig says:
====================
Below is a series that cleans up the dev_pagemap interface so that it is
more easily usable, which removes the need to wrap it in hmm and thus
allowing to kill a lot of code
Changes since v3:
- pull in "mm/swap: Fix release_pages() when releasing devmap pages" and
rebase the other patches on top of that
- fold the hmm_devmem_add_resource into the DEVICE_PUBLIC memory removal
patch
- remove _vm_normal_page as it isn't needed without DEVICE_PUBLIC memory
- pick up various ACKs
Changes since v2:
- fix nvdimm kunit build
- add a new memory type for device dax
- fix a few issues in intermediate patches that didn't show up in the end
result
- incorporate feedback from Michal Hocko, including killing of
the DEVICE_PUBLIC memory type entirely
Changes since v1:
- rebase
- also switch p2pdma to the internal refcount
- add type checking for pgmap->type
- rename the migrate method to migrate_to_ram
- cleanup the altmap_valid flag
- various tidbits from the reviews
====================
Conflicts resolved by:
- Keeping Ira's version of the code in swap.c
- Using the delete for the section in hmm.rst
- Using the delete for the devmap code in hmm.c and .h

We only need to make sure that no one ever tries to map those pages from the CPU side. -HMM provides a set of helpers to register and hotplug device memory as a new -region needing a struct page. This is offered through a very simple API:: - - struct hmm_devmem *hmm_devmem_add(const struct hmm_devmem_ops *ops, - struct device *device, - unsigned long size); - void hmm_devmem_remove(struct hmm_devmem *devmem); - -The hmm_devmem_ops is where most of the important things are:: - - struct hmm_devmem_ops { - void (*free)(struct hmm_devmem *devmem, struct page *page); - vm_fault_t (*fault)(struct hmm_devmem *devmem, - struct vm_area_struct *vma, - unsigned long addr, - struct page *page, - unsigned flags, - pmd_t *pmdp); - }; - -The first callback (free()) happens when the last reference on a device page is -dropped.
