Subject: mm: device exclusive memory access
Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM)
ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory. This requires CPU
page tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are
occurring.
In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type
(SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE). When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive
access by a device all page table mappings for the particular range are
replaced with device exclusive swap entries. This causes any CPU access
to the page to result in a fault.
Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original
mapping. This results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses
to update access permissions such as revoking atomic access. After
notifiers have been called the device will no longer have exclusive access
to the region.
Walking of the page tables to find the target pages is handled by
get_user_pages() rather than a direct page table walk. A direct page
table walk similar to what migrate_vma_collect()/unmap() does could also
have been utilised. However this resulted in more code similar in
functionality to what get_user_pages() provides as page faulting is
required to make the PTEs present and to break COW.

The lock can now be released.
+Exclusive access memory
+=======================
+
+Some devices have features such as atomic PTE bits that can be used to implement
+atomic access to system memory. To support atomic operations to a shared virtual
+memory page such a device needs access to that page which is exclusive of any
+userspace access from the CPU. The ``make_device_exclusive_range()`` function
+can be used to make a memory range inaccessible from userspace.
+
+This replaces all mappings for pages in the given range with special swap
+entries. Any attempt to access the swap entry results in a fault which is
+resovled by replacing the entry with the original mapping. A driver gets
+notified that the mapping has been changed by MMU notifiers, after which point
+it will no longer have exclusive access to the page. Exclusive access is
+guranteed to last until the driver drops the page lock and page reference, at
+which point any CPU faults on the page may proceed as described.
