Yeah I mixed that up with some other code I read, habanalabs is using
_lock. I have seen a pile of gup/pup code though that only uses
set_page_dirty. And looking around I did not really parse the comment
above set_page_dirty(). I guess just using the _lock variant shouldn't
hurt too much. I've found a comment though from the infiniband umem
notifier that it's sometimes called with the page locked, and
sometimes not, so life is complicated there. But how it avoids races I
didn't understand.
