[PATCH 0/4] fix pagewalk minor issues

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

While reviewing Stephen's numa_maps improvement, I've found recent pagewalk changes
made some minor issues.

This series fix them. I think only [1/4] need to backport to -stable.


KOSAKI Motohiro (4):
  pagewalk: Fix walk_page_range() don't check find_vma() result
    properly
  pagewalk: don't look up vma if walk->hugetlb_entry is unused
  pagewalk: add locking-rule commnets
  pagewalk: fix code comment for THP

[PATCH 1/4] pagewalk: Fix walk_page_range() don't check find_vma() result properly

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

The doc of find_vma() says,

    /* Look up the first VMA which satisfies  addr < vm_end,  NULL if none. */
    struct vm_area_struct *find_vma(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr)
    {
     (snip)

Thus, caller should confirm whether the returned vma matches a desired one.

[PATCH 2/4] pagewalk: don't look up vma if walk->hugetlb_entry is unused

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

Currently, walk_page_range() call find_vma() every page table
walk iteration. but it's completely unnecessary if walk->hugetlb_entry
is unused. And we don't have to assume find_vma() is lightweight
operation. Thus this patch check walk->hugetlb_entry and avoid
find_vma() call if possible.

This patch also makes some cleanups. 1) remove ugly uninitialized_var()
and 2) #ifdef in function body.

[PATCH 3/4] pagewalk: add locking-rule commnets

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

Originally, walk_hugetlb_range() didn't require a caller take any lock.
But commit d33b9f45bd (mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in
walk_page_range) changed its rule. Because it added find_vma() call
in walk_hugetlb_range().

Any locking-rule change commit should write a doc too.

[PATCH 4/4] pagewalk: fix code comment for THP

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

commit bae9c19bf1 (thp: split_huge_page_mm/vma) changed locking behavior
of walk_page_range(). Thus this patch changes comment too.
