(I obviously missed that too with my R-b).

This will never get anything done either. How about

ÂÂÂ if (in_range()) {
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ if (!blockable) {
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ret = -EGAIN;
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ goto out_unlock;
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ }
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ unmap_range(); // new name since unmap_if_in_range() doesn't
perform any checks now
ÂÂÂ }
