And again in real systems we expect memfd to be fully populated too.
I thought so too, but we already have a use case for slightly sparse
memfd, unfortunately, that becomes *very* inefficient when fully
populated.
Wait, regardless of how sparse memfd is, once you memfd_pin_folios() the
number of folios to preserve is known and the metadata to preserve is a
fully populated array.
