That doesn't look right. Why would reading the file need a copy of that?

Also, that is a lot of "priv" it's hard to understand which is which.

I suppose you need have the description of the pgtable which is created at the
same time as the debugfs entry is registered.

And you have (or not) the snapshot of the pgtable, which is created only on the
file open.
