Unreleated and unmentioned change to no guard page. Best to remove IMHO.
Can keep the RB in that case.

Though its not called out, sorry for that, but isn't it better to
avoid using the guard page, which will save 4KB of vmalloc virtual
space (which is scarce) for every mapping created by Driver.

Updating the commit message would be fine to mention about this ?.

Too late, already applied without the new flag.

ohh, the patch is already queued for merge ?

Yes, that's why I dropped the guard page when I found out it was being
added. Send a patch to add the flag and we can discuss whether we think
our code is adequate to not require the protection.

Fine, will prepare a separate patch to avoid using the guard page.

Best regards
Akash
