Patch series "mm/devm_memremap_pages: Fix page release race", v2.
Logan audited the devm_memremap_pages() shutdown path and noticed that
it was possible to proceed to arch_remove_memory() before all potential
page references have been reaped.
Introduce a new ->cleanup() callback to do the work of waiting for any
straggling page references and then perform the percpu_ref_exit() in
devm_memremap_pages_release() context.
For p2pdma this involves some deeper reworks to reference count
resources on a per-instance basis rather than a per pci-device basis. A
modified genalloc api is introduced to convey a driver-private pointer
through gen_pool_{alloc,free}() interfaces. Also, a
devm_memunmap_pages() api is introduced since p2pdma does not
auto-release resources on a setup failure.
The dax and pmem changes pass the nvdimm unit tests, and the p2pdma
changes should now pass testing with the pci_p2pdma_release() fix.
Jrme, how does this look for HMM?
This patch (of 6):
The devm_add_action() facility allows a resource allocation routine to
add custom devm semantics. One such user is devm_memremap_pages().
There is now a need to manually trigger
devm_memremap_pages_release(). Introduce devm_release_action() so the
release action can be triggered via a new devm_memunmap_pages() api in a
follow-on change.

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.
