Can you add more comments around this ?

I guess this is fixing all the ptes in the cpu page table mapping a pmd
entry. But then what is below ?

Your use of vairable addr with multiple loops updating then is also
making it complex. We should definitely add more comments here. I guess
we are going through the same range we iterated above here.

What is that checking for ?. We set that using pte_mkspecial above ?

Why mark it dirty if vm_flags is VM_WRITE ?

Again we loop through the same range ?

what is that pte_clear for ?. Handling of new_pte needs more code comments.
