No, no.

I forgot everything, but please don't do this. IIUC This is optimization
for the case when the probed file has int3 at this offset. We should not
skip update_ref_ctr() in this case, just we can avoid __replace_page().

Hmm... I think that David meant the new WARN_ON() added by you in V1?

Please don't remove the old WARN(PageCompound(old_page) check. If userspace
can trigger this warning we need to to fix this code and add FOLL_SPLIT_PMD
unconditionally (and likely do something else).

I take my words back ;) Don't do the additional cleanups, just add the
is_zero_page(old_page) check right after get_user_page_vma_remote() and
update the subject/changelog as David suggests.

This function needs more cleanups anyway. Say, the usage of orig_page_huge
_looks_ obviously wrong even if (afaics) nothing bad can happen. It should
be reinitialized after "goto retry" or it should be checked before the
"orig_page = find_get_page()" code. The usage of gup_flags looks confusing
too. Lets do this later.
