I assume this has been broken at least since 2014, when mm/gup.c came to
life. I failed to come up with a suitable Fixes tag quickly.

I'm worried this would break RDMA over hugetlbfs maps - which is a
real thing people do.

Yes, it is a real thing.  Unfortunately, I do not know exactly how it is used.


MikeK do you have test cases?

Sorry, I do not have any test cases.

I can ask one of our product groups about their usage.  But, that would
certainly not be a comprehensive view.

With

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221116102659.70287-1-david@xxxxxxxxxx

on it's way, the RDMA concern should be gone, hopefully.

@Andrew, can you queue this one? Thanks.
