With the vfio device fd tied to the address space of the pseudo fs
inode, we can use the mm to track all vmas that might be mmap'ing
device BARs, which removes our vma_list and all the complicated lock
ordering necessary to manually zap each related vma.
Note that we can no longer store the pfn in vm_pgoff if we want to use
unmap_mapping_range() to zap a selective portion of the device fd
corresponding to BAR mappings.
This also converts our mmap fault handler to use vmf_insert_pfn()
because we no longer have a vma_list to avoid the concurrency problem
with io_remap_pfn_range(). The goal is to eventually use the vm_ops
huge_fault handler to avoid the additional faulting overhead, but
vmf_insert_pfn_{pmd,pud}() need to learn about pfnmaps first.
Also, Jason notes that a race exists between unmap_mapping_range() and
the fops mmap callback if we were to call io_remap_pfn_range() to
populate the vma on mmap. Specifically, mmap_region() does call_mmap()
before it does vma_link_file() which gives a window where the vma is
populated but invisible to unmap_mapping_range().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
