SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] mm: fix double page fault on arm64 if PTE_AF is cleared

How about:

Let's guard this with:

if (arch_sw_access_bit && !pte_young(vmf->orig_pte)) {

#define arch_sw_access_bit 0
by default and have arm64 override it (either to a variable or a constant
... your choice). Also, please somebody decide on a better name than
arch_sw_access_bit.

This indentation is wrong; it makes vmf->pte look like part of the subsequent
statement instead of part of the condition.
