The change_pte() notifier was designed to use as a quick path to update secondary MMU PTEs on write permission changes or PFN changes. For KVM, it could reduce the vm-exits when vcpu faults on the pages that was touched up by KSM. It's not used to do cache invalidations, for example, if we see the notifier will be called before the real PTE update after all (please see set_pte_at_notify that set_pte_at was called later). All the necessary cache invalidation should all be done in invalidate_range() already.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
