Jérôme Glisse c0b124054f mm/hmm/mirror: mirror process address space on device with HMM helpers
This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space
mirroring.  In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address
space on a device.  This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table
synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like
PCIe device can be).

This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space
mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table
walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism.

This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more
hardware in the future.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
