[PATCH 0/5 v0.6] sched/umcg: RFC UMCG patchset

[Peter Oskolkov]

Many thanks to Jann Horn for a detailed review of v0.5:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210908184905.163787-1-posk@xxxxxxxxxx/

The main change in this patchet vs v0.5 is pinning of
pages containing struct umcg_task of RUNNING workers
and their servers. This allows uaccess operations from
sched_submit_work (preempt-disabled). The pages are
pinned only for RUNNING workers, i.e. at most NR_CPUS
pages are pinned by UMCG at any one time, across the
whole machine.

A smaller change is the move of worker wakeup processing
from sched_update_worker() to exit_to_user_mode_loop(),
to ensure that no kernel locks are held if the worker
is descheduled there.

Commit messages in patches 2 and 3 list more changes.
