mainlining shenanigans
6bfef2f919
Now that flags are handled on a fine-grained per-page basis this global flag is redundant and has a confusing overlap with the pfn_flags_mask and default_flags. Normalize the HMM_FAULT_SNAPSHOT behavior into one place. Callers needing the SNAPSHOT behavior should set a pfn_flags_mask and default_flags that always results in a cleared HMM_PFN_VALID. Then no pages will be faulted, and HMM_FAULT_SNAPSHOT is not a special flow that overrides the masking mechanism. As this is the last flag, also remove the flags argument. If future flags are needed they can be part of the struct hmm_range function arguments.

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.
