+mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event triggering invalidation v2
+
+CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
+of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also
+as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
+...).
+
+Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take
+specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual
+address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening.
+
+This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that
+calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP
+event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against
+a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to
+inspect the new vma page protection.
+
+The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier
+should assume that every for the range is going away when that event
+happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate
+events for each call.
+
+Changes since v1:
+ - add the flags parameter to init range flags
+
+This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy
+as it uses this following coccinelle patch:
