Re: [PATCH 3/5] drm/amdkfd: use vma_is_stack() and vma_is_heap()

[Felix Kuehling]

Allocations in the heap and stack tend to be small, with several 
allocations sharing the same page. Sharing the same page for different 
allocations with different access patterns leads to thrashing when we 
migrate data back and forth on GPU and CPU access. To avoid this we 
disable HMM migrations for head and stack VMAs.

  Felix
