Agreed, Thanks.

Initially this is to prevent race between SLPT population and
truncate/punch on the fd. Without this, a gfn may become stale before
the page is populated in SLPT. However, with memfile_notifier_retry
mechanism, this sounds not needed.

I believe so.

These two are inherited from Kirill's previous code. See if he has any
comment.

Okay.
