Thanks, going to comment on some of those on the patches.

Yes, exactly. Well I think it would make implementing HMM much easier if 
we could rely on most of the mapping being done by the ATC instead of 
manually crafted GPUVM page tables.

Uff? So the ATC is actually not able to handle page faults?

Yeah, that is exactly the same problem I'm currently running into with HMM.

The interrupt handling is pipelined (even much much more than the ATC 
path), so what can happen is that applications free up some memory but 
we have stale page faults for that page in the pipeline.

The only valid workaround I can see is to make sure interrupts are 
processed before returning to HMM that it can unmap pages, and that is a 
really show stopper for performance as far as I can see.

Christian.
