[PATCH 3/5] mm/notifier: add migration invalidation type

Ralph Campbell

Currently migrate_vma_setup() calls mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
which flushes all device private page mappings whether or not a page
is being migrated to/from device private memory. In order to not disrupt
device mappings that are not being migrated, shift the responsibility
for clearing device private mappings to the device driver and leave
CPU page table unmapping handled by migrate_vma_setup(). To support
this, the caller of migrate_vma_setup() should always set struct
migrate_vma::src_owner to a non NULL value that matches the device
private page->pgmap->owner. This value is then passed to the struct
mmu_notifier_range with a new event type which the driver's invalidation
function can use to avoid device MMU invalidations.
