Yes, Matthew asked for the same and also to change the function to
return the flags directly which should make it cleaner. IOW when this
function drops the lock it will include VM_FAULT_VMA_UNLOCKED flag in
its return value. And that will be done in a separate patch.

That was my intention here, IOW I'm making the following replacement:

-             mmap_read_unlock(mm);
+             if (flags & FAULT_FLAG_VMA_LOCK)
+                     vma_end_read(vma);
+             else
+                     mmap_read_unlock(vma->vm_mm);

Did I miss something which makes the function work differently between
mmap_lock vs per-vma one?
