hmm_mirror's handling of ranges does not use a sequence count which
results in this bug:
CPU0 CPU1
hmm_range_wait_until_valid(range)
valid == true
hmm_range_fault(range)
hmm_invalidate_range_start()
range->valid = false
hmm_invalidate_range_end()
range->valid = true
hmm_range_valid(range)
valid == true
Where the hmm_range_valid() should not have succeeded.
Adding the required sequence count would make it nearly identical to the
new mmu_interval_notifier. Instead replace the hmm_mirror stuff with
mmu_interval_notifier.
Co-existence of the two APIs is the first step.

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.
