 This is part a tree-wide conversion, as described in commit fc1d8e7cca2d
 ("mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions").
 
-This changes the release code slightly, because each page slot in the
-page_list[] array is no longer checked for NULL. However, that check
-was wrong anyway, because the get_user_pages() pattern of usage here
-never allowed for NULL entries within a range of pinned pages.
+Note that this effectively changes the code's behavior in
+qp_release_pages(): it now ultimately calls set_page_dirty_lock(),
+instead of set_page_dirty(). This is probably more accurate.

+As Christoph Hellwig put it, "set_page_dirty() is only safe if we are
+dealing with a file backed page where we have reference on the inode it
+hangs off." [1]
