Hi Yu,
scripts/get_maintainers.pl is your friend for getting the right set of
emails for a series :) Don't know about others, but generally I would
prefer to be Cc'ed on an entire series (to gather context) than just an
individual patch.

Why does the lack of FEAT_HAFDBS preclude the use of the test-and-clear
notifier?
On implementations without FEAT_HAFDBS, hardware will generate a data
abort for software to set the access flag. Regardless of whether
software or hardware is responsible for updating the PTE that
information is available in the page tables.
Also, I'm at a loss for why we'd need to test if CONFIG_KVM is enabled.
My expectation is that we should provide an implementation that returns
false if !CONFIG_KVM, avoiding the need to repeat that bit in every
single implementation of the function.

Why do we need this? We already defer dropping the last reference count
on a page to an RCU callback. Have you observed issues with the existing
implementation?

If there is a need to do these sort of moves, please do it in a separate
patch. It pollutes the context of the functional change you're making.

Do we really need to be _this_ pedantic about sanity checking?

Why not use stage2_try_set_pte()? Not only is it idiomatic with the rest
of the stage-2 code, it also will 'do the right thing' according to the
locking scheme of the caller if we decide to change it at some point.

See prior comment about sanity checking.

Same here...

The rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() is entirely superfluous.
Of course, it is somewhat hidden by the fact that we must use
abstractions to support host and EL2 use of the page table code, but we
already make use of RCU to protect the stage-2 of a 'regular' VM.

Doesn't this become a blatant correctness issue? This entirely fails to
uphold the exact expectations of the call.
