A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

The intention with this code is to determine if the caller required the
pages to be valid, and if so, then take some action to make them valid.
The action varies depending on the page type.
In all cases, if the caller doesn't ask for the page, then
hmm_range_fault() should not return an error.
Revise the implementation to be clearer, and fix some bugs:
- hmm_pte_need_fault() must always be called before testing fault or
write_fault otherwise the defaults of false apply and the if()'s don't
work. This was missed on the is_migration_entry() branch
- -EFAULT should not be returned unless hmm_pte_need_fault() indicates
fault is required - ie snapshotting should not fail.
- For !pte_present() the cpu_flags are always 0, except in the special
case of is_device_private_entry(), calling pte_to_hmm_pfn_flags() is
confusing.
Reorganize the flow so that it always follows the pattern of calling
hmm_pte_need_fault() and then checking fault || write_fault.

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.
