In general looks good, some comments below.

Nit Usual "two tab" comment (same below) :)

I'd simply do

	return vma_start_anon_pgoff(vma) + linear_page_delta(vma, address);

Dito.

Could we test or COW mappings instead?

VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(!is_cow_mapping(vma));

Because we must never have anon folios is non-cow mappings.

Same comment as above.
