From 720ba85040a6549674e5599685ca7df86a902448 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 14:22:57 +0100 Subject: mm/mmu_notifier: use MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR in remove_device_exclusive_entry() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Let's limit the use of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE to the case where we convert a present PTE to device-exclusive. For the other case, we can simply use MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR, because it really is clearing the device-exclusive entry first, to then install the present entry. Update the documentation of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE, to document the single use case more thoroughly. If ever required, we could add a separate MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR_EXCLUSIVE; for now using MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR seems to be sufficient.
