Let's get rid of another follow_page() user and perform the conversion under PTL: Note that this is also what follow_page_pte() ends up doing. Unfortunately we cannot currently optimize out the additional reference, because arch_make_folio_accessible() must be called with a raised refcount to protect against concurrent conversion to secure. We can just move the arch_make_folio_accessible() under the PTL, like follow_page_pte() would. We'll effectively drop the "writable" check implied by FOLL_WRITE: follow_page_pte() would also not check that when calling arch_make_folio_accessible(), so there is no good reason for doing that here. We'll lose the secretmem check from follow_page() as well, about which we shouldn't really care.

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.
