Jérôme Glisse 855ce7d252 mm/hmm: cleanup special vma handling (VM_SPECIAL)
Special vma (one with any of the VM_SPECIAL flags) can not be access by
device because there is no consistent model across device drivers on those
vma and their backing memory.

This patch directly use hmm_range struct for hmm_pfns_special() argument
as it is always affecting the whole vma and thus the whole range.

It also make behavior consistent after this patch both hmm_vma_fault() and
hmm_vma_get_pfns() returns -EINVAL when facing such vma.  Previously
hmm_vma_fault() returned 0 and hmm_vma_get_pfns() return -EINVAL but both
were filling the HMM pfn array with special entry.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
