Longpeng(Mike) asked in another e-mail specifically about making similar changes to lookup_address_in_mm(). Replying here as there is more context. I 'think' lookup_address_in_mm is safe from this issue. Why? IIUC, the problem with the huge_pte_offset routine is that the pud changes from pud_none() to pud_huge() in the middle of 'if (pud_huge(*pud) || !pud_present(*pud))'. In the case of lookup_address_in_mm, we know pud was not pud_none() as it was previously checked. I am not aware of any other state transitions which could cause us trouble. However, I am no expert in this area. -- Mike Kravetz
