[PATCH v3 15/15] mm/memory: ignore writable bit in folio_pte_batch()

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 07:53:50 EST


.. and conditionally return to the caller if any PTE except the first one
is writable. fork() has to make sure to properly write-protect in case any
PTE is writable. Other users (e.g., page unmaping) are expected to not
care.
