Hi Tomas,
I tested your patch and Boris's modifications on top of your patch, and
I'm happy to report that both seem to work just fine.
Thanks a lot for testing. I'll send out the official patch ASAP.
Best regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
I'm inlining the diff you posted so I can comment on it directly before
it's officially posted to the list.
Thanks, I'll incorporate those in the next test rev or the official
patch.
Best regards
Thomas

I believe we can go back to
return vmf_insert_pfn_pmd(vmf, pfn, false);
if the mappings are no longer adjusted to catch write accesses.

We can be a bit smarter here:

The rest looks good to me.
