Hmm. Is this bug ? To me, it's just shown in hugepage's pagesize, by design.
_And_, Doesn't this patch change behavior of walk_pagemap_range() implicitly ?
No influence to other users ? (as memcontrol.c. in mmotm. Ask Nishimura-san ;)
some nitpicks.

This is my personal opinion, may not be popular.
When you add BUG_ON(), please confirm "you have real concern about this."
After reading this, code reader will take care of avoiding calling this
function with above condition. yes.
But, this function itself is only for pagemap_read() and it seems no
other one will call this function externally in future.
Above 3 BUG_ON will never happen because of simple logic around this.
Then, it seems unnecessary noise to me.
If your changes in walk_page_range() causes concerns to add above BUG_ON()s,
please avoid such changes.
Bye.
