Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2 resend] mm: various cleanups in get_user_pages()

Sorry for the repeated emails. Kindly ignore the previous resend. Please
review this instead. Thanks. I have tested this.

[PATCH 2/2] mm: various cleanups in get_user_pages()
 
This patch contains various cleanups, including making sure vma is valid, and
the return value of follow_hugetlb_page() is validated.
