The madvise implementation currently resets the SVM madvise if the
underlying CPU map is unmapped. This is in an attempt to mimic the
CPU madvise behaviour. However, it's not clear that this is a desired
behaviour since if the end app user relies on it for malloc()ed
objects or stack objects, it may not work as intended.
Instead of having the autoreset functionality being a direct
application-facing implicit UAPI, make the UMD explicitly choose
this behaviour if it wants to expose it by introducing
DRM_XE_VM_BIND_FLAG_MADVISE_AUTORESET, and add a semantics
description.

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.
