So you have completely coherent and indistinguishable GPU and CPU memory and the need of migration is basicaly alot like NUMA policy choice - get better access locality? > This patch series makes a few changes to make MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC pages > behave correctly in the migrate_vma_* helpers.

I'm not an expert in migrate, but it doesn't look outrageous. Have you thought about allowing MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC to work with hmm_range_fault() so you can have nice uniform RDMA? People have wanted to do that with MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE but nobody finished the work Jason _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
