Thanks, but the patch need to be on top of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git queue branch.

I would call it wakeup_all.

Space before and after ==, but this is not needed at all.  It does
not matter if GUP failed or not here. We need to wake up guest process
that is waiting on a page, so just set wakeup_all to false in kvm_setup_async_pf().
