doesn't memory_region_update_topology commit all accumulated changes?

It does.

  if
it does then memory_region_transaction_depth is left non-zero in the
nesting case while no more changes are actually present, resulting in
superfluous calls to memory_region_update_topology.

maybe I misunderstood memory_region_update_topology?


update_mapping()
{
m_r_t_begin();
// call memory API functions to change hierarchy
some_other_function() entered
  m_r_t_begin();
  // call more memory API functions to change hierarchy
  m_r_t_commit();  // nothing happens
some_other_function() exits
// call even more memory API functions to change hierarchy
m_r_t_commit();  // all accumulated changes become visible
}
