[PATCH 0/2] Kernel MMU notifier for IOTLB/DEVTLB management

From: Lu Baolu

Shared Virtual Memory (SVM) allows a kernel memory mapping to be
shared between CPU and and a device which requested a supervisor
PASID. Both devices and IOMMU units have TLBs that cache entries
from CPU's page tables. We need to get a chance to flush them at
the same time when we flush the CPU TLBs.

These patches handle this by adding a kernel MMU notifier chain.
The callbacks on this chain will be called whenever the CPU TLB
is flushed for the kernel address space.
