    KVM: MMU: try to fix up page faults before giving up · add6a0cd
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    The vGPU folks would like to trap the first access to a BAR by setting
    vm_ops on the VMAs produced by mmap-ing a VFIO device.  The fault handler
    then can use remap_pfn_range to place some non-reserved pages in the VMA.
    
    This kind of VM_PFNMAP mapping is not handled by KVM, but follow_pfn
    and fixup_user_fault together help supporting it.  The patch also supports
    VM_MIXEDMAP vmas where the pfns are not reserved and thus subject to
    reference counting.
