Wait, the hugetlb_vma_(un)lock_{read,write} functions do
have checks for the presence of the lock:
void hugetlb_vma_lock_read(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
if (__vma_shareable_lock(vma)) {
struct hugetlb_vma_lock *vma_lock = vma-
>vm_private_data;
down_read(&vma_lock->rw_sema);
} else if (__vma_private_lock(vma)) {
struct resv_map *resv_map = vma_resv_map(vma);
down_read(&resv_map->rw_sema);
}
}
Both __vma_shareable_lock and __vma_private_lock check that
vma->vm_private_data points at something.
Exactly what corner case am I missing here?
What leaves vma->vm_private_data pointing at something
invalid?

This does not seem quite correct, because the locking is needed to
avoid the race between MADV_DONTNEED and the page fault path.

I thought I had that already.
Does __vma_shareable_lock need to check for !vma->vm_file ?
