Still applies, thanks! Please find some mostly-polishing comments below.

It seems to be missing from the commitmsg, though. But maybe listing
all the flags there is redundant, since a doc is coming anyway and the
values are listed in the .h?

I guess THPs can't be file-backed currently, but can we somehow mark
this assumption so it can be easily found if the capability arrives?

BTW, can a HugeTLB page be file-backed and swapped out?

When would `walk_end_addr` be different from `end`? Maybe it would be
easier to understand if the `p->walk_end_addr` update was pushed to
the callers? (Actually: the one that wants to change it.)

A quick improvement:

/* instead of `flush` declaration */ unsigned long flush_end = 0;

if (!flush_end)
  start = addr;
flush_end = next;

And here:
if (flush_end)
  flush_tlb_range(vma, start, flush_end);

Please inline the macro as here is the only use of it.

The second condition is equivalent to `p.arg.vec_len == 1`, but why is
that an ending condition? Isn't the last entry enough to gather one
more range? (The walk could have returned -ENOSPC due to buffer full
and after flushing it could continue with the last free entry.)
