Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
992de9a8b7
HMM mirror is a device driver helpers to mirror range of virtual address. It means that the process jobs running on the device can access the same virtual address as the CPU threads of that process. This patch adds support for mirroring mapping of file that are on a DAX block device (ie range of virtual address that is an mmap of a file in a filesystem on a DAX block device). There is no reason to not support such case when mirroring virtual address on a device. Note that unlike GUP code we do not take page reference hence when we back-off we have nothing to undo.

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.
