Changes since v7 [1]:
* Fix IOVA reuse race by leaving the dma scatterlist mapped until
unregistration time. Use iommu_unmap() in ib_umem_lease_break() to
force-invalidate the ibverbs memory registration. (David Woodhouse)
* Introduce iomap_can_allocate() as a way to check if any layouts are
present in the mmap write-fault path to prevent block map changes, and
start the leak break process when an allocating write-fault occurs.
This also removes the i_mapdcount bloat of 'struct inode' from v7.
(Dave Chinner)
* Provide generic_map_direct_{open,close,lease} to cleanup the
filesystem wiring to implement MAP_DIRECT support (Dave Chinner)
* Abandon (defer to a potential new fcntl()) support for using
MAP_DIRECT on non-DAX files. With this change we can validate the
inode is MAP_DIRECT capable just once at mmap time rather than every
fault. (Dave Chinner)
* Arrange for lease_direct leases to also wait the
/proc/sys/fs/lease-break-time period before calling break_fn. For
example, allow the lease-holder time to quiesce RDMA operations before
the iommu starts throwing io-faults.
* Switch intel-iommu to use iommu_num_sg_pages().

MAP_DIRECT is a mechanism that allows an application to establish a
mapping where the kernel will not change the block-map, or otherwise
dirty the block-map metadata of a file without notification. It supports
a "flush from userspace" model where persistent memory applications can
bypass the overhead of ongoing coordination of writes with the
filesystem, and it provides safety to RDMA operations involving DAX
mappings.
The kernel always has the ability to revoke access and convert the file
back to normal operation after performing a "lease break". Similar to
fcntl leases, there is no way for userspace to to cancel the lease break
process once it has started, it can only delay it via the
/proc/sys/fs/lease-break-time setting.
MAP_DIRECT enables XFS to supplant the device-dax interface for
mmap-write access to persistent memory with no ongoing coordination with
the filesystem via fsync/msync syscalls.
