similar to: [PATCH] linux-2.6.18/gnttab: add deferred freeing logic

Rather than just leaking pages that can''t be freed at the point where access permission for the backend domain gets revoked, put them on a list and run a timer to (infrequently) retry freeing them. (This can particularly happen when unloading a frontend driver when devices are still present, and the backend still has them in non-closed state or hasn''t finished closing them yet.)

When using mmu interval notifiers, the underlying VMA range that the interval is tracking might be expanded or shrunk. Add a helper function to allow the interval to be updated safely from the ops->invalidate() callback in response to VMA range changes. This is effectively removing and inserting the mmu interval notifier but more efficient. Signed-off-by: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell at

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at mellanox.com> Of the 13 users of mmu_notifiers, 8 of them use only invalidate_range_start/end() and immediately intersect the mmu_notifier_range with some kind of internal list of VAs. 4 use an interval tree (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1). 4 use a linked list of some kind (scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm) And the remaining 5 either don't use

This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the paravirt-ops interface. The features in implemented this patch series are: * domU only * UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes * xen console * virtual block

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at mellanox.com> 8 of the mmu_notifier using drivers (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1, scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm) drivers are using a common pattern where they only use invalidate_range_start/end and immediately check the invalidating range against some driver data structure to tell if the driver is interested. Half of them use an interval_tree, the others

This series adds new functions to the mmu interval notifier API to allow device drivers with MMUs to dynamically mirror a process' page tables based on device faults and invalidation callbacks. The Nouveau driver is updated to use the extended API and a set of stand alone self tests is added to help validate and maintain correctness. The patches are based on linux-5.5.0-rc6 and are for

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-rc7 + your patches + the last batch of pv_ops patches I posted. This patch generally restricts itself to Xen-specific parts of the tree, though it does make a few small changes elsewhere. These patches include: - some helper routines for allocating address space and walking pagetables - Xen
