hmm_vma_walk->last is supposed to be updated after every write to the
pfns, so that it can be returned by hmm_range_fault(). However, this is
not done consistently. Fortunately nothing checks the return code of
hmm_range_fault() for anything other than error.
More importantly last must be set before returning -EBUSY as it is used to
prevent reading an output pfn as an input flags when the loop restarts.
For clarity and simplicity make hmm_range_fault() return 0 or -ERRNO. Only
set last when returning -EBUSY.
Yes, this is also a nice simplification.

I'm glad you added that comment. This is much easier to figure out with
that in place. After poking around this patch and eventually understanding the
.last handling, I wondered if you might like this slightly tweaked wording
instead:
/*
* Each of the hmm_walk_ops routines returns -EBUSY if and only
* hmm_vma_walk.last has been set to an address that has not yet
* been stored in pfns. All entries < last in the pfn array are
* set to their output, and all >= are still at their input
* values.
*/
Either way,
