I'm not sure what it is that you need me to confirm: if the folio fits
within the vma, then the folio fits within the vma, pmd-mapped or not.
(And I agree with Yu that it's better to drop the folio_test_large()
check too.)
This idea, of counting the folio as mlocked according to whether the
whole folio fits within the vma, does seem a good idea to me: worth
pursuing. But whether the implementation adds up and works out, I
have not checked. It was always difficult to arrive at a satisfactory
compromise in mlocking compound pages: I hope this way does work out.
