The logic here doesn't make sense. You called page_mlock_one() on a VMA
that isn't locked and it returns true? Is this a check to see if the
VMA has zero mlock'ed pages?

Are you sure? I think you at least need to hold the mmap lock for
reading to ensure there's no race here? mlock_vma_page() eludes to such
a scenario when lazy mlocking.
The mmap_lock is held for writing in the scenarios I have checked.

I think you need to check_pte() to be sure it is mapped?

Again, I don't get the return values. If page_mlock_one() returns true,
I'd expect for my page to now be locked. This isn't the case here,
page_mlock_one() returns true if there are no pages present for a locked
VMA, correct?

Is this an mlock or an munlock? I'm not confident it's either, but more
of a check to see if there are pages mapped in a locked VMA?
