Hi Arnd,

With some Kconfig local hacks that removed all HUGE* support, while leaving
HMM enabled, I was able to reproduce your results, and also to verify the
fix. It also makes sense from reading it.

Also, I ran into one more warning as well:

mm/hmm.c: In function ‘hmm_vma_walk_pud’:
mm/hmm.c:764:25: warning: unused variable ‘vma’ [-Wunused-variable]
  struct vm_area_struct *vma = walk->vma;
                         ^~~

...which can be fixed like this:

diff --git a/mm/hmm.c b/mm/hmm.c
index c4beb1628cad..c1cbe82d12b5 100644
--- a/mm/hmm.c

                goto again;

...so maybe you'd like to fold that into your patch?
