Hi Linus,
Locking fix for nouveau's use of HMM
This small series was posted by Christoph before the merge window, but didn't
make it in time for the PR. It fixes various locking errors in the nouveau
driver's use of the hmm_range_* functions.
The diffstat is a bit big as Christoph did a comprehensive job to move the
obsolete API from the core header and into the driver before fixing its flow,
but the risk of regression from this code motion is low.
I don't intend to often send -rc patches for hmm, but this is entangled with
other changes already, so it is simpler to keep it on the hmm git branch.
Thanks,
Jason

----------------------------------------------------------------
HMM patches for 5.3-rc
Fix the locking around nouveau's use of the hmm_range_* APIs. It works
correctly in the success case, but many of the the edge cases have missing
unlocks or double unlocks.

mm/hmm: always return EBUSY for invalid ranges in hmm_range_{fault,snapshot}
mm/hmm: move hmm_vma_range_done and hmm_vma_fault to nouveau
nouveau: remove the block parameter to nouveau_range_fault
