> grant mapped page or not
> Note, we only grant copy PKT_PROT_LEN bytes from the first slot, the rest (if

I guess there's no undo work in the case of a copy op so you can bump the copy count here, but it might have been nicer to pair it with the update to the map count.

I know you called this out as unrelated, but I still think it would be better in a separate patch.

It could have been the copy that failed. You should probably change the error message.

Do you need an 'else' here? Unless I'm misreading the diff your previous clause returns.
