Sorry, I added a check in mremap to return early if
hugetlb_vma_sharable() in v2.

old_addr is getting modified in the for loop to continually point to
the old address that's being moved in the iteration. 'old_addr += sz'.

For v2 I moved the comment locally. Let me see if I can preserve the
reservation like you described.

Should be fixed in v2.

No, my test case currently (which I will include with v2) is quite
simple and doesn't do anything related to userfaultfd. Let me see if I
can add some userfaultfd usage to the test to detect any issues.
