Sorry for the delay in reviewing. huge_pmd_share() will do a find_vma() to get the vma. So, it would be 'possible' to not add an extra argument to huge_pmd_alloc() and simply do the uffd_disable_huge_pmd_share() check inside vma_shareable. This would reduce the amount of modified code, but would not be as efficient. I prefer passing the vma argument as is done here. Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <redacted> -- Mike Kravetz
