HMM consumes physical address space for its own use, even though nothing is mapped or accessible there. It uses a special resource description (IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) to uniquely identify these areas. When HMM consumes address space, it makes a best guess about what to consume. However, it is possible that a future memory or device hotplug can collide with the reserved area. In the case of these conflicts, there is an error message in register_memory_resource(). Later patches in this series move register_memory_resource() from using request_resource_conflict() to __request_region(). Unfortunately, __request_region() does not return the conflict like the previous function did, which makes it impossible to check for IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY in a conflicting resource. Instead of warning in register_memory_resource(), move the check into the core resource code itself (__request_region()) where the conflicting resource _is_ available. This has the added bonus of producing a warning in case of HMM conflicts with devices *or* RAM address space, as opposed to the RAM- only warnings that were there previously.

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.
