    mm: merge parameters for change_protection() · 58705444
    Peter Xu authored
    change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code,
    there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and
    prot_numa).  Further, these parameters are passed along the calls:
    
      - change_protection_range()
      - change_p4d_range()
      - change_pud_range()
      - change_pmd_range()
      - ...
    
    Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to
    replace these parameters.  Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters
    multiple times along the way.
    
    More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce
    any new parameters to change_protection().  In the follow up patches, a
    new parameter for userfaultfd write protection will be introduced.
    
    No functional change at all.
