Patch series "mm/migrate: optimize migrate_vma_setup() for holes". A simple optimization for migrate_vma_*() when the source vma is not an anonymous vma and a new test case to exercise it. This patch (of 2): When migrating system memory to device private memory, if the source address range is a valid VMA range and there is no memory or a zero page, the source PFN array is marked as valid but with no PFN. This lets the device driver allocate private memory and clear it, then insert the new device private struct page into the CPU's page tables when migrate_vma_pages() is called. migrate_vma_pages() only inserts the new page if the VMA is an anonymous range. There is no point in telling the device driver to allocate device private memory and then not migrate the page. Instead, mark the source PFN array entries as not migrating to avoid this overhead.

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 Restructured Text 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.
