In order to improve performance of typical scenarios we can try to insert
the entire vma on fault. This accelerates typical cases, such as when
the MMIO region is DMA mapped by QEMU. The vfio_iommu_type1 driver will
fault in the entire DMA mapped range through fixup_user_fault().
In synthetic testing, this improves the time required to walk a PCI BAR
mapping from userspace by roughly 1/3rd.
This is likely an interim solution until vmf_insert_pfn_{pmd,pud}() gain
support for pfnmaps.

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.
