Okay. Wait for your test report. Thank you in advance.

Better document is always welcomed.

Double call ->release is not bad, like i mentioned it in the changelog:

it is really rare (e.g, can not happen on kvm since mmu-notify is unregistered
after exit_mmap()) and the later call of multiple ->release should be
fast since all the pages have already been released by the first call.

But, of course, it's great if you have a _light_ way to avoid this.
