Subject: [PATCH 00/15] hmm: fixes and documentations v3

From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@...hat.com>

Added a patch to fix zombie mm_struct (missing call to mmu notifier
unregister) this was lost in translation at some point. Included all
typos and comments received so far (and even more typos fixes). Added
more comments. Updated individual patch version to reflect changes.

Below are previous cover letter (everything in them are still true):

----------------------------------------------------------------------
cover letter for v2:

Removed pointless VM_BUG_ON() cced stable when appropriate and splitted
the last patch into _many_ smaller patches to make it easier to review.
The end result is same modulo comments i received so far and the extra
documentation i added while splitting thing up. Below is previous cover
letter (everything in it is still true):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
cover letter for v1:

All patches only impact HMM user, there is no implication outside HMM.

First patch improve documentation to better reflect what HMM is. Second
patch fix #if/#else placement in hmm.h. The third patch add a call on
mm release which helps device driver who use HMM to clean up early when
a process quit. Finaly last patch modify the CPU snapshot and page fault
helper to simplify device driver. The nouveau patchset i posted last
week already depends on all of those patches.

You can find them in a hmm-for-4.17 branch:
