This patch introduce a set of enums that can be associated with each of the events triggering a mmu notifier. Latter patches take advantages of those enum values. - UNMAP: munmap() or mremap() - CLEAR: page table is cleared (migration, compaction, reclaim, ...) - PROTECTION_VMA: change in access protections for the range - PROTECTION_PAGE: change in access protections for page in the range - SOFT_DIRTY: soft dirtyness tracking Being able to identify munmap() and mremap() from other reasons why the page table is cleared is important to allow user of mmu notifier to update their own internal tracking structure accordingly (on munmap or mremap it is not longer needed to track range of virtual address as it becomes invalid).
