I was actually just writing something very similar when looking at the hmm things.. Also, is the test backwards? mmu_notifier_range_blockable() == true means the callback must return zero mmu_notififer_range_blockable() == false means the callback can return 0 or -EAGAIN. Suggest this: pr_info("%pS callback failed with %d in %sblockable context.\n", mn->ops->invalidate_range_start, _ret, !mmu_notifier_range_blockable(range) ? "non-" : ""); + WARN_ON(mmu_notifier_range_blockable(range) || + _ret != -EAGAIN); ret = _ret; } } To express the API invariant.
