Subject: [PATCH v2 10/11] mm/hmm: add helpers for driver to safely take the mmap_sem v2
Date:   Mon, 25 Mar 2019 10:40:10 -0400

From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com>

The device driver context which holds reference to mirror and thus to
core hmm struct might outlive the mm against which it was created. To
avoid every driver to check for that case provide an helper that check
if mm is still alive and take the mmap_sem in read mode if so. If the
mm have been destroy (mmu_notifier release call back did happen) then
we return -EINVAL so that calling code knows that it is trying to do
something against a mm that is no longer valid.

Changes since v1:
    - removed bunch of useless check (if API is use with bogus argument
      better to fail loudly so user fix their code)
