One of such example > is uprobe. The following patches use FOLL_SPLIT_PMD in uprobe. So after the next patch we have a single user of FOLL_SPLIT_PMD (uprobes) and a single user of FOLL_SPLIT: arch/s390/mm/gmap.c:thp_split_mm().

Anyway, ret = pte_alloc(mm, pmd) can't be correct. If __pte_alloc() fails pte_alloc() will return 1. This will fool the IS_ERR(page) check in __get_user_pages(). Oleg.
