> Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] mm: Device exclusive memory access
>
> Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM)
> ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory. This requires CPU page
> tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are occurring.
>
> In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type (SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE).
> When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive access by a device all page
> table mappings for the particular range are replaced with device exclusive
> swap
> entries. This causes any CPU access to the page to result in a fault.
>
> Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original
> mapping. This
> results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses to update access
> permissions such as revoking atomic access. After notifiers have been called
> the
> device will no longer have exclusive access to the region.

Nit: you should use unsigned long for 'i' and 'npages' to match start/end.
