Mark pages/folios dirty/accessed after installing a PTE, and more specifically after acquiring mmu_lock and checking for an mmu_notifier invalidation. Marking a page/folio dirty after it has been written back can make some filesystems unhappy (backing KVM guests will such filesystem files is uncommon, and the race is minuscule, hence the lack of complaints). See the link below for details. This will also allow converting Book3S to kvm_release_faultin_page(), which requires that mmu_lock be held (for the aforementioned reason).

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 reStructuredText 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.
