Nicolin Chen 27b77ea5fe iommufd/access: Bypass access->ops->unmap for internal use
The access object has been used externally by VFIO mdev devices, allowing
them to pin/unpin physical pages (via needs_pin_pages). Meanwhile, a racy
unmap can occur in this case, so these devices usually implement an unmap
handler, invoked by iommufd_access_notify_unmap().

The new HW queue object will need the same pin/unpin feature, although it
(unlike the mdev case) wants to reject any unmap attempt, during its life
cycle. Instead, it would not implement an unmap handler. Thus, bypass any
access->ops->unmap access call when the access is marked as internal.

Also, an area being pinned by an internal access should reject any unmap
request. This cannot be done inside iommufd_access_notify_unmap() as it's
a per-iopt action. Add a "num_locks" counter in the struct iopt_area, set
that in iopt_area_add_access() when the caller is an internal access.

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 reStructuredText 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.
