To be honest I dislike the entire flags based scheme for communicating the fact that page reference obtained by madvise needs to be dropped later. I'd rather pass a non-NULL 'struct page *' than redo pfn_to_page() conversions in the leaf functions, but that's a much larger change.
We tried to remove that flag in the past but for different reasons. I will have another look to see what can be done. Thanks -- Oscar Salvador SUSE L3
