Subject: mm/hmm.c:hmm_do_fault(): suppress sparse warning
Date: Mon Aug 10 01:16:37 PM PDT 2026
mm/hmm.c:673 hmm_do_fault() error: we previously assumed 'hmm_vma_walk->locked' could be null (see line 654)
Stanislav says this can't happen. Waste a few cycles to make the warning
go away.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: WARN_ON_ONCE() if the handler didn't set ->locked, per Stanislav]

Fixes: 121170831228 ("mm/hmm: add hmm_range_fault_unlocked_timeout() for mmap lock-drop support")
