Device Coherent type uses device memory that is coherently accesible by the CPU. This could be shown as SP (special purpose) memory range at the BIOS-e820 memory enumeration. If no SP memory is supported in system, this could be faked by setting CONFIG_EFI_FAKE_MEMMAP. Currently, test_hmm only supports two different SP ranges of at least 256MB size. This could be specified in the kernel parameter variable efi_fake_mem. Ex. Two SP ranges of 1GB starting at 0x100000000 & 0x140000000 physical address. Ex. efi_fake_mem=1G@0x100000000:0x40000,1G@0x140000000:0x40000 Private and coherent device mirror instances can be created in the same probed. This is done by passing the module parameters spm_addr_dev0 & spm_addr_dev1. In this case, it will create four instances of device_mirror. The first two correspond to private device type, the last two to coherent type. Then, they can be easily accessed from user space through /dev/hmm_mirror<num_device>. Usually num_device 0 and 1 are for private, and 2 and 3 for coherent types. If no module parameters are passed, two instances of private type device_mirror will be created only.

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.
