These operations are typically context preemption or TLB flushing. With single-pass notifiers per GPU this doesn't scale in multi-gpu scenarios. In those scenarios we'd want to first start preemption- or TLB flushing on all GPUs and as a second pass wait for them to complete. One can do this on per-driver basis multiplexing per-driver notifiers but that would mean sharing the notifier "user" lock across all GPUs and that doesn't scale well either, so adding support for multi-pass in the core appears to be the right choice. Implement two-pass capability in the mmu_interval_notifier. Use a linked list for the final passes to minimize the impact for use-cases that don't need the multi-pass functionality by avoiding a second interval tree walk, and to be able to easily pass data between the two passes. v1: - Restrict to two passes (Jason Gunthorpe) - Improve on documentation (Jason Gunthorpe) - Improve on function naming (Alistair Popple) v2: - Include the invalidate_finish() callback in the struct mmu_interval_notifier_ops. - Update documentation (GitHub Copilot:claude-sonnet-4.6) - Use lockless list for list management. v3: - Update kerneldoc for the struct mmu_interval_notifier_finish::list member (Matthew Brost) - Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() checking for NULL invalidate_finish() op if if invalidate_start() is non-NULL. (Matthew Brost) v4: - Addressed documentation review comments by David Hildenbrand. Cc: Matthew Brost Cc: Christian König Cc: David Hildenbrand Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes Cc: Liam R.
