/*
* Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM)
*
* See Documentation/vm/hmm.txt for reasons and overview of what HMM is and it
* is for. Here we focus on the HMM API description, with some explanation of
* the underlying implementation.
*
* Short description: HMM provides a set of helpers to share a virtual address
* space between CPU and a device, so that the device can access any valid
* address of the process (while still obeying memory protection). HMM also
* provides helpers to migrate process memory to device memory, and back. Each
* set of functionality (address space mirroring, and migration to and from
* device memory) can be used independently of the other.
*
*
* HMM address space mirroring API:
*
* Use HMM address space mirroring if you want to mirror range of the CPU page
* table of a process into a device page table. Here, "mirror" means "keep
* synchronized". Prerequisites: the device must provide the ability to write-
* protect its page tables (at PAGE_SIZE granularity), and must be able to
* recover from the resulting potential page faults.
*
* HMM guarantees that at any point in time, a given virtual address points to
* either the same memory in both CPU and device page tables (that is: CPU and
* device page tables each point to the same pages), or that one page table (CPU
* or device) points to no entry, while the other still points to the old page
* for the address. The latter case happens when the CPU page table update
* happens first, and then the update is mirrored over to the device page table.
* This does not cause any issue, because the CPU page table cannot start
* pointing to a new page until the device page table is invalidated.
*
* HMM uses mmu_notifiers to monitor the CPU page tables, and forwards any
* updates to each device driver that has registered a mirror. It also provides
* some API calls to help with taking a snapshot of the CPU page table, and to
* synchronize with any updates that might happen concurrently.
*
*
* HMM migration to and from device memory:
*
* HMM provides a set of helpers to hotplug device memory as ZONE_DEVICE, with
* a new MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE type. This provides a struct page for each page
* of the device memory, and allows the device driver to manage its memory
* using those struct pages. Having struct pages for device memory makes
* migration easier. Because that memory is not addressable by the CPU it must
* never be pinned to the device; in other words, any CPU page fault can always
* cause the device memory to be migrated (copied/moved) back to regular memory.
*
* A new migrate helper (migrate_vma()) has been added (see mm/migrate.c) that
* allows use of a device DMA engine to perform the copy operation between
* regular system memory and device memory.
