Alistairs please correct me otherwise, as it tries to restore the pte for src mm not dst (the child). I haven't yet got time to look at the new series, planning to do it tomorrow maybe.. but I see that it's already queued in -mm. Andrew, we do have chance to go back if necessary, right?
Sure.
I haven't looked at the rest, but I think try_restore_exclusive_pte() can at least drop the *mm pointer as it's never used (even if we need, we've got vma->vm_mm too)..
OK, thanks. I just released a tree into linux-next (hopefully this blooper won't cause too much damage). Please send a suitable fixup.
