Device drivers can use the migrate_vma family of functions to migrate
existing private anonymous mappings to device private pages. These pages
are backed by memory on the device with drivers being responsible for
copying data to and from device memory.
Device private pages are freed via the pgmap->page_free() callback when
they are unmapped and their refcount drops to zero. Alternatively they
may be freed indirectly via migration back to CPU memory in response to
a pgmap->migrate_to_ram() callback called whenever the CPU accesses
an address mapped to a device private page.
In other words drivers cannot control the lifetime of data allocated on
the devices and must wait until these pages are freed from userspace.
This causes issues when memory needs to reclaimed on the device, either
because the device is going away due to a ->release() callback or
because another user needs to use the memory.
Drivers could use the existing migrate_vma functions to migrate data off
the device. However this would require them to track the mappings of
each page which is both complicated and not always possible. Instead
drivers need to be able to migrate device pages directly so they can
free up device memory.
To allow that this patch introduces the migrate_device family of
functions which are functionally similar to migrate_vma but which skips
the initial lookup based on mapping.
