For Coherent device case we definitely need > page cache migration support. I have been in the discussion on the mailing list about HMM since V13 which got posted back in October. Touched upon many points including how it changes ZONE_DEVICE to accommodate un-addressable device memory, migration capability of currently supported ZONE_DEVICE based persistent memory etc. Looked at the HMM more closely from the perspective whether it can also accommodate coherent device memory which has been already discussed by others on this thread. I too would like to attend to discuss more on this topic. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
