+Page table locks
+----------------
Many thanks to Lorenzo for documenting page table locks! This is really
needed. And at a glance, I agree with Jann's additions.
Thanks!
Will be respinning with all comments taken into account relatively soon.
(except last-level page tables: khugepaged already deletes those for
file mappings without using the mmap lock at all in
retract_page_tables(), and there is a pending series that will do the
same with page tables in other VMAs too, see
<https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1729157502.git.zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/>)
Thanks to Jann for mentioning this series, I just updated it to v2
recently:

Yeah I need to read through a little bit as I was unaware of these paths (mm is
a big and sprawling subsystem more so than one might expect... :)
Could you cc- me on any respin, as at least an interested observer? Thanks!
Sure, will cc- you in the next version. ;)
Ugh wut OK haha. Will look into this.
Thanks!
