It's not clear to me that this would need to be a new syscall. Scanning
the patches it looks like your adding a NUMA node anyway, so the
existing interfaces (eg. madvise) with its various options
(MPOL_PREFERRED/PREFERRED_MANY) and
set_mempolicy/set_mempolicy_home_node() could potentially cover this for
both NUMA and hNUMA nodes. The main advantage here would be providing a
common userspace interface for setting these kind of hints.

I think it would be helpful if you could be a bit more specific on what
functionality the current HMM/migrate_vma/MMU notifier interfaces are
missing that every driver has to implement in a common way. Because I'm
not convinced we can't either improve those interfaces to provide what's
needed or add specific components (eg. a physical page allocator)
instead of a whole new framework.

What do the common bits of this full MM subsystem look like?
Fundamentally the existing HMM functionality can already make use of
Linux core MM to manage page tables and migrate pages and everything
else seems pretty device specific (ie. actual copying of data,
programming of MMUs, TLBs, etc.)

I can see that there would be scope to have say a generic memory
allocator, which I vaguely recall discussing in relation to
DEIVCE_PRIVATE pages in the past but @Oak suggests something close
already exists (drm/buddy).

Potentially I suppose there is VA allocation that might be common across
devices. However I have not had any experience working with devices with
VA requirements different enough from the CPU to matter. If they are so
different I'm not convinced it would be easy to have a common
implementation anyway.

I'm not following this. At present all HMM encodes in CPU PTEs is the
fact a page has been migrated to the device and what permissions it
has. I'm not aware of needing to treat X86 and ARM differently for
example here. Are you saying you want somewhere to store other bits
attached to a particular VA?

How is this proposal any different though? From what I can see it
replaces MMU notifier callbacks with TLB invalidation callbacks, but
that is essentially what MMU notifier callbacks are anyway. The "random
device MM logic" should just be clearing device TLBs. What other MM
logic has to be implemented in the MMU notifier callbacks that is the
same between devices?

What is wrong with the current ZONE_DEVICE solution? You mention size of
struct page, but that is already being worked on through the conversion
to folios. Admittedly higher order HMM ZONE_DEVICE folios are not
currently supported, but that is something I'm actively working on at
the moment.

I guess that would need to be part of the physical page allocator right?
