Yes, that is missing.  I will add here.

In the retry case, we are OK because go back and look up the vma again.  Right?

After taking mmap_read_lock, vma can not go away until we mmap_read_unlock.
Before that, we do the following:

> > +		i_mmap_lock_write(mapping);

IIUC, vma can not go away while we hold i_mmap_lock_write.  So, after this we
can.

We continue to hold i_mmap_lock_write as we goto retry.

I could be missing something as well.  This was how I intended to keep
vma valid while dropping and acquiring locks.

I think we will at most retry once.

Sure, will add a comment before hugetlb_vma_lock.

Actually, it is huge_pte_offset.  While looking up ptes in the source vma, we
do not want to race with other threads in the source process which could
be doing a huge_pmd_unshare.  Otherwise, the returned pte could be invalid.

FYI - Most of this code is now 'dead' because of bcd51a3c679d "Lazy page table
copies in fork()".  We will not copy shared mappigns at fork time.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  For looking at this series and all
your comments.  I hope to send out v2 next week.
