Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] secretmem/gup: don't check if page is secretmem without reference

The check in gup_pte_range() whether a page belongs to a secretmem mapping
is performed before grabbing the page reference.

To avoid potential race move the check after try_grab_compound_head().

Looking at the hunk below, I wonder if you're missing a put_compound_head().

(also, I'd do if unlikely(page_is_secretmem()) but that's a different 
discussion)
  		if (unlikely(pte_val(pte) != pte_val(*ptep))) {
  			put_compound_head(head, 1, flags);
  			goto pte_unmap;
