Patch series "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements", v2. Ever since we added folio_pte_batch() for fork() + munmap() purposes, a lot more users appeared (and more are being proposed), and more functionality was added. Most of the users only need basic functionality, and could benefit from a non-inlined version. So let's clean up folio_pte_batch() and split it into a basic folio_pte_batch() (no flags) and a more advanced folio_pte_batch_ext(). Using either variant will now look much cleaner. This series will likely conflict with some changes in some (old+new) folio_pte_batch() users, but conflicts should be trivial to resolve. This patch (of 4): Respecting these PTE bits is the exception, so let's invert the meaning. With this change, most callers don't have to pass any flags. This is a preparation for splitting folio_pte_batch() into a non-inlined variant that doesn't consume any flags. Long-term, we want folio_pte_batch() to probably ignore most common PTE bits (e.g., write/dirty/young/soft-dirty) that are not relevant for most page table walkers: uffd-wp and protnone might be bits to consider in the future. Only walkers that care about them can opt-in to respect them. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
