Never block for outstanding work on userptr object upon receipt of a
mmu-notifier. The reason we originally did so was to immediately unbind
the userptr and unpin its pages, but since that has been dropped in
commit b4b9731b02c3c ("drm/i915: Simplify userptr locking"), we never
return the pages to the system i.e. never drop our page->mapcount and so
do not allow the page and CPU PTE to be revoked. Based on this history,
we know we are safe to drop the wait entirely.
Upon return from mmu-notifier, we will still have the userptr pages
pinned preventing the following PTE operation (such as try_to_unmap)
adjusting the vm_area_struct, so it is safe to keep the pages around for
as long as we still have i/o pending.
We do not have any means currently to asynchronously revalidate the
userptr pages, that is always prior to next use.

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.
