IIUC, there is no parallel thread to walk the page tables of the
vmemmap area. We may not need READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE.

Right. There is a BUG_ON(pmd_leaf(*pmd)) in vmemmap_pmd_range().

There was a discussion about "why we introduce reuse parameter" in a
previous version of the series starting here:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mm/patch/20201217121303.13386-4-songmuchun@bytedance.com/

I also want to hear Oscar and Mike's suggestions about this.

Thanks.
