Merge tag 'vfio-v6.10-rc4' of https://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio

Pull VFIO fixes from Alex Williamson:
 "Fix long standing lockdep issue of using remap_pfn_range() from the
  vfio-pci fault handler for mapping device MMIO. Commit ba168b52
  ("mm: use rwsem assertion macros for mmap_lock") now exposes this as a
  warning forcing this to be addressed.

  remap_pfn_range() was used here to efficiently map the entire vma, but
  it really never should have been used in the fault handler and doesn't
  handle concurrency, which introduced complex locking. We also needed
  to track vmas mapping the device memory in order to zap those vmas
  when the memory is disabled resulting in a vma list.

  Instead of all that mess, setup an address space on the device fd
  such that we can use unmap_mapping_range() for zapping to avoid the
  tracking overhead and use the standard vmf_insert_pfn() to insert
  mappings on fault.

  For now we'll iterate the vma and opportunistically try to insert
  mappings for the entire vma. This aligns with typical use cases, but
  hopefully in the future we can drop the iterative approach and make
  use of huge_fault instead, once vmf_insert_pfn{pud,pmd}() learn to
  handle pfnmaps"
