I think it's the same as with page_mapped_in_vma(): it expects the anon vma lock
to already haven been taken.
At least that's what I understand when looking at collect_procs_anon. :)

Yeah, that should be much easier.

Note that page_mapped_in_vma() is also KSM only.
But I am curious why the function differs from what I quickly hacked together.
