This is a very odd way to divide up the series: an "Intermission"
half way through the implementation of MINOR/CONTINUE: this 3/9
makes little sense without the 4/9 to mm/userfaultfd.c which follows.
But, having said that, I won't object and Peter did not object, and
I don't know of anyone else looking here: it will only give each of
us more trouble to insist on repartitioning the series, and it's the
end state that's far more important to me and to all of us.
And I'll even seize on it, to give myself an intermission after
this one, until tomorrow (when I'll look at 4/9 and 9/9 - but
shall not look at the selftests ones at all).
Most of this is okay, except the mm/shmem.c part; and I've just now
realized that somewhere (whether in this patch or separately) there
needs to be an update to Documentation/admin-guide/mm/userfaultfd.rst
(admin-guide? how weird, but not this series' business to correct).

Okay, Peter persuaded you to move that up here: where indeed it
does look better than the earlier "swapped" version.
But will crash on swap as it's currently written: it needs to say
if (!xa_is_value(page)) {
unlock_page(page);
put_page(page);
}
I did say before that it's more robust to return from the swap
case after doing the shmem_swapin_page(). But I might be slowly
realizing that the ioctl to add the pte (in 4/9) will do its
shmem_getpage_gfp(), and that will bring in the swap if user
did not already do so: so I was wrong to claim more robustness
the other way, this placement should be fine. I think.
