Okay, lets start picking up hmm patches in to the new shared hmm.git, as promised I will take responsibility to send these to Linus. The tree is here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma.git/log/?h=hmm This looks fine to me with one minor comment: > diff --git a/Documentation/vm/hmm.rst b/Documentation/vm/hmm.rst > index ec1efa32af3c..7c1e929931a0 100644 > +++ b/Documentation/vm/hmm.rst > > @@ -151,21 +151,27 @@ registration of an hmm_mirror struct:: > > int hmm_mirror_register(struct hmm_mirror *mirror, > struct mm_struct *mm); > - int hmm_mirror_register_locked(struct hmm_mirror *mirror, > - struct mm_struct *mm); > > - > -The locked variant is to be used when the driver is already holding mmap_sem > -of the mm in write mode.

I will revise it (and the hmm.h comment it came from) to read the below. Please let me know if you'd like something else: /* release() - release hmm_mirror * * @mirror: pointer to struct hmm_mirror * * This is called when the mm_struct is being released. The callback * must ensure that all access to any pages obtained from this mirror * is halted before the callback returns. All future access should * fault. */ The key task for release is to fence off all device access to any related pages as the mm is about to recycle them and the device must not cause a use-after-free. I applied it to hmm.git Thanks, Jason
