Currently if a special PTE is encountered hmm_range_fault() immediately returns EFAULT and sets the HMM_PFN_SPECIAL error output (which nothing uses).
EFAULT should only be returned after testing with hmm_pte_need_fault().
Also pte_devmap() and pte_special() are exclusive, and there is no need to check IS_ENABLED, pte_special() is stubbed out to return false on unsupported architectures.
I think the right fix is to just kill HMM_PFN_SPECIAL and treat any fault on special ptes that aren't the zero page as an error.
I have another series that is doing that - this change is to make the next series make sense and not introduce new control logic too.
Ok. I had some cleanups like this based of older trees, but if you are active in this area I think I'll let you handle it.
You once said you wanted to loose the weird pfn flags scheme, so before putting hmm_range_fault in ODP I planned to do that.
If you have your series someplace send me a URL and I'll look on it
Thanks, Jason
