Linus Torvalds 84da111de0 hmm related patches for 5.4
This is more cleanup and consolidation of the hmm APIs and the very
 strongly related mmu_notifier interfaces. Many places across the tree
 using these interfaces are touched in the process. Beyond that a cleanup
 to the page walker API and a few memremap related changes round out the
 series:
 
 - General improvement of hmm_range_fault() and related APIs, more
   documentation, bug fixes from testing, API simplification &
   consolidation, and unused API removal
 
 - Simplify the hmm related kconfigs to HMM_MIRROR and DEVICE_PRIVATE, and
   make them internal kconfig selects
 
 - Hoist a lot of code related to mmu notifier attachment out of drivers by
   using a refcount get/put attachment idiom and remove the convoluted
   mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() and related APIs.
 
 - General API improvement for the migrate_vma API and revision of its only
   user in nouveau
 
 - Annotate mmu_notifiers with lockdep and sleeping region debugging
 
 Two series unrelated to HMM or mmu_notifiers came along due to
 dependencies:
 
 - Allow pagemap's memremap_pages family of APIs to work without providing
   a struct device
 
 - Make walk_page_range() and related use a constant structure for function
   pointers

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.
