Ok, I think if it needs to be explicitly called out in the commit message it
should be a separate patch. Originally I thought the change was _just_ small
enough to include here, but this patch has since grown so I'll split it out.

Good idea, I can see how that could be confusing. Will add a short
description.

Right, notifying the owner/driver when it no longer has exclusive access to
the page and allowing it to stop atomic operations is the critical point and
why it notifies when we ordinarily wouldn't (ie. invalid -> valid).
I did consider adding a new type, but in the driver implementation it ends up
being treated the same as a CLEAR notification anyway so didn't think it was
necessary. But I suppose adding a different type would allow other listening
notifiers to filter these which might be worthwhile.

It seems sometimes sticking to 80 is still preferable though so generally I
still try to stick to that. Agree the indent does look a little odd though so
perhaps this is better:

+ vma->vm_mm, address, min(vma->vm_end,
+ address + page_size(page)),

Yeah I agree, this appears to be a hangover from an earlier version when
try_to_protect_one() was part of the giant try_to_unmap_one() function which I
subsequently cleaned up so I think it can be removed. Thanks.

Yes, this is why "address" is passed up to ttp_args.

If I am understanding you correctly I think this would be similar to the
approach that was taken in v2. However it pretty much ended up being just an
open-coded version of gup which is useful anyway to fault the page in.

As you say this is somewhat subjective and personally I prefer this to adding
flag type arguments (although when the flag is a single bool I can go either
way). The real reason is the original swap entry code cleaned up in patches 1
& 2 had a mixture of both styles and I didn't really think a third helper
(make_device_exclusive_entry(writable)) was necessary.

Indeed it was and I doubt it's possible for a caller to pass in a temp stack.
Will double check.

Good point, thanks.

No problem, thanks for the comments and reading this far!
