hmm doesn't currently build well with MMU_NOTIFIER=n:
With microblaze
https://download.01.org/0day-ci/archive/20260702/[email protected]/config
(CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER=n):
mm/hmm.c: In function 'hmm_range_fault_unlocked_timeout':
mm/hmm.c:804:25: error: implicit declaration of function 'mmu_interval_read_begin'; did you mean 'mmu_interval_check_retry'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
804 | mmu_interval_read_begin(range->notifier);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| mmu_interval_check_retry
Quoting Stanislav:
: Documentation/mm/hmm.rst explicitly states:
:
: "Address space mirroring's main objective is to allow duplication of a
: range of CPU page table into a device page table; HMM helps keep both
: synchronized. A device driver that wants to mirror a process address
: space must start with the registration of a mmu_interval_notifier"
:
: I think making CONFIG_HMM_MIRROR dependent on the CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER
: is the right thing to do.
So select MMU_NOTIFIER if hmm.c is to be compiled.
