But it seems impossible for normal vma since the mm is pinned before reaching hugepage_vma_check() unless the vma is gate vma. The gate vma doesn't have valid mm, but its size is PAGE_SIZE so the old code (checking vma size first) did return before dereferencing mm. So move vma size check to the top to make sure it returns for gate vma before dereferencing mm.
