DSA supports page fault handling through PRS. However, the DMA engine that's processing the descriptor is blocked until the PRS response is received. Other workqueues sharing the engine are also blocked. Page fault handing by the driver with PRS disabled can be used to mitigate the stalling. With PRS disabled while ATS remain enabled, DSA handles page faults on a completion record by reporting an event in the event log. In this instance, the descriptor is completed and the event log contains the completion record address and the contents of the completion record. Add support to the event log handling code to fault in the completion record and copy the content of the completion record to user memory. A bitmap is introduced to keep track of discarded event log entries. When the user process initiates ->release() of the char device, it no longer is interested in any remaining event log entries tied to the relevant wq and PASID. The driver will mark the event log entry index in the bitmap. Upon encountering the entries during processing, the event log handler will just clear the bitmap bit and skip the entry rather than attempt to process the event log entry.

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.
