I'm still working my way through the series but calling a fold during an
unfold stood out as it seemed wrong. Obviously further reading revealed
the boolean flag that changes the functions meaning but I think it would
be better to refactor that.

We could easily rename contpte_fold() to eg. set_cont_ptes() and factor
the pte calculation loop into a separate helper
(eg. calculate_contpte_dirty_young() or some hopefully better name)
called further up the stack. That has an added benefit of providing a
spot to add the nice comment for young/dirty rules you provided in the
patch description ;-)

In other words we'd have something like:

void __contpte_try_unfold() {
     pte = calculate_contpte_dirty_young(mm, addr, ptep, pte);
     pte = pte_mknoncont(pte);
     set_cont_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte);
}

Which IMHO is more immediately understandable.
