But of course going from page flush to the mm flush is fine from my part
too. As Linus noted a few days ago during swapout we're going to block
and reschedule all the time, so the range flush is going to be a noop in
real life (the whole thing is an heuristic), and this is why it wasn't
implemented right now. But I agree it shouldn't hurt either and it looks
nicer.
