Hi, Thank you for taking a look!

There are already relevant testcases implemented in ./tests/test_odp.py:
  - test_odp_sync_prefetch_rc_traffic
  - test_odp_async_prefetch_rc_traffic
  - test_odp_prefetch_sync_no_page_fault_rc_traffic
  - test_odp_prefetch_async_no_page_fault_rc_traffic
On my node (x86-64/linux-6.15.0-rc1+), this series can pass all these tests.

Other than that, this feature is required by librpma as far as I know.
Though it is not maintained anymore, perhaps this could also be used for testing.

Thanks,
Daisuke
