hmm_vma_walk->last is supposed to be updated after every write to the pfns, so that it can be returned by hmm_range_fault(). However, this is not done consistently. Fortunately nothing checks the return code of hmm_range_fault() for anything other than error. More importantly last must be set before returning -EBUSY as it is used to prevent reading an output pfn as an input flags when the loop restarts. For clarity and simplicity make hmm_range_fault() return 0 or -ERRNO. Only set last when returning -EBUSY.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
