I dislike calculating max_nr twice, once here and once in skip_non_ptes.

Further, you're missing to update ptent here.

Oh, my bad. However, with [PATCH v3 5/9], there will be no problem, but
there are still two ptep_get() and max_nr calculation.

If you inline it you can
avoid another ptep_get().

Do you mean to inline the skip_none_ptes() into do_zap_pte_range()?

Effectively moving this patch after #5, and have it be something like:

In the context of this patch this makes most sense.

Regarding "count_pte_none" comment, I assume you talk about patch #7.

Can't you simply return the number of pte_none that you skipped here using another
input variable, if really required?
