This patchset has 2 sides, first side is just reworking the HMM API to make something better in respect to process lifetime. AMD folks did find that helpful [1]. This rework is also necessary to ease up the convertion of ODP to HMM [2] and Jason already said that he is interested in seing that happening [3]. By missing 5.1 it means now that i can not push ODP to HMM in 5.2 and it will be postpone to 5.3 which is also postoning other work ... The second side is it adds 2 new helper dma map and dma unmap both are gonna be use by ODP and latter by nouveau (after some other nouveau changes are done). This new functions just do dma_map ie: hmm_dma_map() { existing_hmm_api() for_each_page() { dma_map_page() } } Do you want to see anymore justification than that ?
