Merge branch 'odp_fixes' into rdma.git for-next
Jason Gunthorpe says:
====================
This is a collection of general cleanups for ODP to clarify some of the
flows around umem creation and use of the interval tree.
====================
The branch is based on v5.3-rc5 due to dependencies
* odp_fixes:
RDMA/mlx5: Use odp instead of mr->umem in pagefault_mr
RDMA/mlx5: Use ib_umem_start instead of umem.address
RDMA/core: Make invalidate_range a device operation
RDMA/odp: Use kvcalloc for the dma_list and page_list
RDMA/odp: Check for overflow when computing the umem_odp end
RDMA/odp: Provide ib_umem_odp_release() to undo the allocs
RDMA/odp: Split creating a umem_odp from ib_umem_get
RDMA/odp: Make the three ways to create a umem_odp clear
RMDA/odp: Consolidate umem_odp initialization
RDMA/odp: Make it clearer when a umem is an implicit ODP umem
RDMA/odp: Iterate over the whole rbtree directly
RDMA/odp: Use the common interval tree library instead of generic
RDMA/mlx5: Fix MR npages calculation for IB_ACCESS_HUGETLB

The patch must follow Documentation/process/coding-style.rst and + Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst. + +2. Patches should be against kvm.git master branch. + +3. If the patch introduces or modifies a new userspace API: + - the API must be documented in Documentation/virt/kvm/api.txt + - the API must be discoverable using KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION + +4. New state must include support for save/restore. + +5. New features must default to off (userspace should explicitly request them). + Performance improvements can and should default to on. + +6. New cpu features should be exposed via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID2 + +7. Emulator changes should be accompanied by unit tests for qemu-kvm.git + kvm/test directory. + +8. Changes should be vendor neutral when possible. Changes to common code + are better than duplicating changes to vendor code. + +9. Similarly, prefer changes to arch independent code than to arch dependent + code. + +10. User/kernel interfaces and guest/host interfaces must be 64-bit clean + (all variables and sizes naturally aligned on 64-bit; use specific types + only - u64 rather than ulong). + +11. New guest visible features must either be documented in a hardware manual + or be accompanied by documentation. + +12. Features must be robust against reset and kexec - for example, shared + host/guest memory must be unshared to prevent the host from writing to + guest memory that the guest has not reserved for this purpose. |
