Yes, I understand that, but I am not sure how we can prevent any potential
notifier callback from taking sleeping locks other than adding clear comments.

Oh, Qemu uses the udmabuf driver to provide Host Graphics components
(such as Spice, Gstreamer, UI, etc) zero-copy access to Guest created
buffers. In other words, from a core mm standpoint, udmabuf just
collects a bunch of pages (associated with buffers) scattered inside
the memfd (Guest ram backed by shmem or hugetlbfs) and wraps
them in a dmabuf fd. And, since we provide zero-copy access, we
use DMA fences to ensure that the components on the Host and
Guest do not access the buffer simultaneously.

Ok; in order to make it clear that the notifier is associated with PTE updates,
I think it needs to have a more suitable name such as mmu_notifier_update_pte()
or mmu_notifier_new_pte(). But we already have mmu_notifier_change_pte,
which IIUC is used mainly for PTE updates triggered by KSM. So, I am inclining
towards dropping this new notifier and instead adding a new flag to change_pte
to distinguish between KSM triggered notifications and others. Something along
the lines of:
diff --git a/include/linux/mmu_notifier.h b/include/linux/mmu_notifier.h

And replace mmu_notifier_update_mapping(vma->vm_mm, address, pte_pfn(*ptep))
in the current patch with
mmu_notifier_change_pte(vma->vm_mm, address, ptep, false));
Would that work for your HMM use-case -- assuming we call change_pte after
taking PTL?
