Subject: mm/mmu_notifier: use MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR in remove_device_exclusive_entry()
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 14:22:57 +0100
Let's limit the use of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE to the case where we convert a
present PTE to device-exclusive. For the other case, we can simply use
MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR, because it really is clearing the device-exclusive entry
first, to then install the present entry.
Update the documentation of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE, to document the single
use case more thoroughly.
If ever required, we could add a separate MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR_EXCLUSIVE; for
now using MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR seems to be sufficient.
