From: Jérôme Glisse <[email protected]> [This depends on some HMM patchset queued upstream see branch [1]]
This is simple change to switch to use HMM for user ptr buffer object which conveniently avoid to pin pages. I have more things in the pipe to make HMM more usefull for such cases (like sharing more resources accross multiple mirror of a same process). Beside avoiding pining, this is also an attempt to isolate core mm from device drivers by having clearly define API and boundary where we can set expection of everyone and thus having mm folks to have to read and understand driver code and conversly having driver folks understand mm maze. This is also part of what i want to discuss during XDC2018. Consider this as an RFC to start the discussion.
