can it be BUG_ON(hugetlb_pte_size(hpte) <= desired_sz)

As it is just changing mappings is holding f_mapping required? I mean in future
is it any paln or way to use some per process level sub-lock?

As i understand this for_each_hgm_shift loop is just to find right size of shift,
then code below this line can be put out of loop, no strong feeling but it looks
more proper may make code easier to understand.

sorry did not understand where tlb flush will be taken care in case of success?
I see set_huge_pte_at does not do it internally by self.
