i_mmap_lock_write(mapping) is missing here? Retry logic will do i_mmap_unlock_write(mapping) anyway.

IMHO, above check is not enough. Think about the below scene:

CPU 1					CPU 2
hugetlb_unmap_file_folio		exit_mmap
  mmap_read_lock(skipped_mm);		  mmap_read_lock(mm);
  check vma is wanted.
  					  unmap_vmas
  mmap_read_unlock(skipped_mm);		  mmap_read_unlock
  					  mmap_write_lock(mm);
  					  free_pgtables
  					  remove_vma
					    hugetlb_vma_lock_free
  vma, hugetlb_vma_lock is still *used after free*
  					  mmap_write_unlock(mm);
So we should check mm->mm_users == 0 to fix the above issue. Or am I miss something?

Should here be one cond_resched() here in case this function will take a really long time?

unmap_hugepage_range is not called under hugetlb_vma_lock in unmap_ref_private since it's private vma?
Add a comment to avoid future confusion?

s/huge_pte_offset/huge_pte_alloc/, i.e. huge_pte_alloc could return shared pmd, not huge_pte_offset which
might lead to confusion. But this is really trivial...

Except from above comments, this patch looks good to me.
