Replace the internal interval tree based mmu notifier with the new common
mmu_interval_notifier_insert() API. This removes a lot of code and fixes a
deadlock that can be triggered in ODP:
zap_page_range()
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
[..]
ib_umem_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
down_read(&per_mm->umem_rwsem)
unmap_single_vma()
[..]
__split_huge_page_pmd()
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
[..]
ib_umem_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
down_read(&per_mm->umem_rwsem) // DEADLOCK
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
up_read(&per_mm->umem_rwsem)
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
up_read(&per_mm->umem_rwsem)
The umem_rwsem is held across the range_start/end as the ODP algorithm for
invalidate_range_end cannot tolerate changes to the interval
tree. However, due to the nested invalidation regions the second
down_read() can deadlock if there are competing writers. The new core code
provides an alternative scheme to solve this problem.

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 Restructured Text 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.
