+ * struct mmu_interval_notifier_finish - mmu_interval_notifier two-pass abstraction
+ * @link: Lockless list link for the notifiers pending pass list
+ * @notifier: The mmu_interval_notifier for which the finish pass is called.
+ *
+ * Allocate, typically using GFP_NOWAIT in the interval notifier's start pass.
+ * Note that with a large number of notifiers implementing two passes,
+ * allocation with GFP_NOWAIT will become increasingly likely to fail, so consider
+ * implementing a small pool instead of using kmalloc() allocations.
+ *
+ * If the implementation needs to pass data between the start and the finish passes,
+ * the recommended way is to embed struct mmu_interval_notifier_finish into a larger
+ * structure that also contains the data needed to be shared. Keep in mind that
+ * a notifier callback can be invoked in parallel, and each invocation needs its
+ * own struct mmu_interval_notifier_finish.
+ *
+ * If allocation fails, then the &mmu_interval_notifier_ops->invalidate_start op
+ * needs to implements the full notifier functionality. Please refer to its
+ * documentation.

+/**
* struct mmu_interval_notifier_ops
* @invalidate: Upon return the caller must stop using any SPTEs within this
* range. This function can sleep. Return false only if sleeping
* was required but mmu_notifier_range_blockable(range) is false.
+ * @invalidate_start: Similar to @invalidate, but intended for two-pass notifier
+ * callbacks where the call to @invalidate_start is the first
+ * pass and any struct mmu_interval_notifier_finish pointer
+ * returned in the @finish parameter describes the finish pass.
+ * If *@finish is %NULL on return, then no final pass will be
+ * called, and @invalidate_start needs to implement the full
+ * notifier, behaving like @invalidate. The value of *@finish
+ * is guaranteed to be %NULL at function entry.
+ * @invalidate_finish: Called as the second pass for any notifier that returned
+ * a non-NULL *@finish from @invalidate_start. The @finish
+ * pointer passed here is the same one returned by
+ * @invalidate_start.
