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
