Jason Ekstrand requested a more efficient method than userptr+set-domain
to determine if the userptr object was backed by a complete set of pages
upon creation. To be more efficient than simply populating the userptr
using get_user_pages() (as done by the call to set-domain or execbuf),
we can walk the tree of vm_area_struct and check for gaps or vma not
backed by struct page (VM_PFNMAP). The question is how to handle
VM_MIXEDMAP which may be either struct page or pfn backed...

First reaction is that it sounds like a bad idea. Well maybe not bad, but a bit questionable since if the userspace doesn't know, then there are no guarantees the result of probe will remain valid until the time to actually instantiate the backing store comes.

The populate idea from the next patch sounds okay on the other hand. So is there an use case where extremely controlling userspace would benefit from probe rather than just using populate?
