Just to make sure I understand the issue. Do you mean there's no need for set_page_dirty() here? If yes, is there any other function that already did this? Thanks

Then you should reset patch #1 all by itself targetting 'net'.

You can look here: https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/mmu_notifier The first parts, the get/put are in the hmm tree, and the last part, the interval tree in the last commit is still a WIP, but it would remove alot of that code from vhost as well.

Thanks for the reminding. I want the patch to go through Michael's vhost tree, that's why I don't put 'net' prefix. For next time, maybe I can use "vhost" as a prefix for classification?
