+ * We have to make sure that when we clear PageAnonExclusive, that

+ * concurrently pinning the page.
+ *
+ * Conceptually, PageAnonExclusive clearing consists of:
+ * (A1) Clear PTE
+ * (A2) Check if the page is pinned; back off if so.
+ * (A3) Clear PageAnonExclusive
+ * (A4) Restore PTE (optional, but certainly not writable)
+ *
+ * When clearing PageAnonExclusive, we cannot possibly map the page
+ * writable again, because anon pages that may be shared must never
+ * be writable. So in any case, if the PTE was writable it cannot
+ * be writable anymore afterwards and there would be a PTE change. Only
+ * if the PTE wasn't writable, there might not be a PTE change.
+ *
+ * Conceptually, GUP-fast pinning of an anon page consists of:
+ * (B1) Read the PTE
+ * (B2) FOLL_WRITE: check if the PTE is not writable; back off if so.
+ * (B3) Pin the mapped page
+ * (B4) Check if the PTE changed by re-reading it; back off if so.
+ * (B5) If the original PTE is not writable, check if
+ * PageAnonExclusive is not set; back off if so.
+ *
+ * If the PTE was writable, we only have to make sure that GUP-fast
+ * observes a PTE change and properly backs off.
+ *
+ * If the PTE was not writable, we have to make sure that GUP-fast either
+ * detects a (temporary) PTE change or that PageAnonExclusive is cleared
+ * and properly backs off.
+ *
+ * Consequently, when clearing PageAnonExclusive(), we have to make
+ * sure that (A1), (A2)/(A3) and (A4) happen in the right memory
+ * order. In GUP-fast pinning code, we have to make sure that (B3),(B4)
+ * and (B5) happen in the right memory order.
+ *
+ * We assume that there might not be a memory barrier after
+ * clearing/invalidating the PTE (A1) and before restoring the PTE (A4),
