Major changes: - The iova_bitmap logic for efficiently reporting dirty pages back to userspace has a few more tricky corner case bugs that have been resolved and backed with new tests. The revised version has simpler logic. - Shared branch with iommu for handle support when doing domain attach. Handles allow the domain owner to include additional private data on a per-device basis. - IO Page Fault Reporting to userspace via iommufd. Page faults can be generated on fault capable HWPTs when a translation is not present. Routing them to userspace would allow a VMM to be able to virtualize them into an emulated vIOMMU. This is the next step to fully enabling vSVA support. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQRRRCHOFoQz/8F5bUaFwuHvBreFYQUCZpfo4AAKCRCFwuHvBreF YTO6APwMLxeWmHbE1H+7ZPuXP7B1aDuwRLczZOo3i816pIj+bQD+OywEA/NcljK6 6NLeqyUe7tECtVrFPSiRT9lWVuzZSQs= =rnN/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-linus-iommufd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgg/iommufd Pull iommufd updates from Jason Gunthorpe: - The iova_bitmap logic for efficiently reporting dirty pages back to userspace has a few more tricky corner case bugs that have been resolved and backed with new tests.

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.
