  [PATCH v12 27/29] HMM: fork copy migrated memory into system memory for child process. Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> - 2016-03-08 20:50 +0100

#1353336 — [PATCH v12 27/29] HMM: fork copy migrated memory into system memory for child process.

When forking if process being fork had any memory migrated to some
device memory, we need to make a system copy for the child process.
Latter patches can revisit this and use the same COW semantic for
device memory.
