Linus Torvalds aa32f11691 hmm related patches for 5.5
This is another round of bug fixing and cleanup. This time the focus is on
 the driver pattern to use mmu notifiers to monitor a VA range. This code
 is lifted out of many drivers and hmm_mirror directly into the
 mmu_notifier core and written using the best ideas from all the driver
 implementations.
 
 This removes many bugs from the drivers and has a very pleasing
 diffstat. More drivers can still be converted, but that is for another
 cycle.
 
 - A shared branch with RDMA reworking the RDMA ODP implementation
 
 - New mmu_interval_notifier API. This is focused on the use case of
   monitoring a VA and simplifies the process for drivers
 
 - A common seq-count locking scheme built into the mmu_interval_notifier
   API usable by drivers that call get_user_pages() or hmm_range_fault()
   with the VA range
 
 - Conversion of mlx5 ODP, hfi1, radeon, nouveau, AMD GPU, and Xen GntDev
   drivers to the new API. This deletes a lot of wonky driver code.
 
 - Two improvements for hmm_range_fault(), from testing done by Ralph

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
