[PATCH v7 02/23] mm: Teach core mm about pte markers

Peter Xu
2022-03-04T05:17:58Z

This patch still does not use pte marker in any way, however it teaches the
core mm about the pte marker idea.

For example, handle_pte_marker() is introduced that will parse and handle all
the pte marker faults.

Many of the places are more about commenting it up - so that we know there's
the possibility of pte marker showing up, and why we don't need special code
for the cases.
