Hi Jerome (+Evgeny),
After some time and testing, I'd like to recommend that we delete the above
hmm_dev_fault_range() function from the patchset. Reasons:
1. Our driver code is actually easier to follow if we call migrate_vma() directly, for CPU
faults. That's because there are a lot of hmm_* calls in both directions (driver <-->
core), already, and it takes some time to remember which direction each one goes.
2. The helper is a little confusing to use, what with a start, end, *and* an addr argument.
3. ...and it doesn't add anything that the driver can't trivially do itself.
So, let's just remove it. Less is more this time. :)
thanks,
