As far as I can see you don't yet introduce any checks. It makes patchset somewhat pointless. I'm not entirely sure how such checks would look like. The single page table tree would have at least two pt_mm: the owner and init_mm. Hugetlb shared page tables would make a mess here. Hm? -- Kirill A. Shutemov
