Subject: [PATCH v4 07/13] lib: test_hmm add ioctl to get zone device type

new ioctl cmd added to query zone device type. This will be
used once the test_hmm adds zone device coherent type.

Actually this is not used at all. Thanks for finding it. Honestly, I
don't remember what we used this type request for.
I will remove all related codeĀ  and send a new patch series version.

What does the locking here do?

Presumably cmd->zone_device_type can become out of date the instant the
mutex is released, so what was the point in taking the mutex?

And does it make sense to return potentially out-of-date info to
userspace? Perhaps this interface simply shouldn't exist?
