mainlining shenanigans
6d674e28f6
A device mapping is normally always mapped at Stage-2, since there is very little gain in having it faulted in. Nonetheless, it is possible to end-up in a situation where the device mapping has been removed from Stage-2 (userspace munmaped the VFIO region, and the MMU notifier did its job), but present in a userspace mapping (userpace has mapped it back at the same address). In such a situation, the device mapping will be demand-paged as the guest performs memory accesses. This requires to be careful when dealing with mapping size, cache management, and to handle potential execution of a device mapping.

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.
