mm: convert FPB_IGNORE_* into FPB_RESPECT_*
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.
