Hi Yosry, Usama,
Thanks very much for your comments.

After further consideration, I have adopted a different approach that
offers more
flexibility than returning a boolean value and also has an equally low
implementation
cost:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240906001047.1245-2-21cnbao@xxxxxxxxx/

This is somewhat similar to Yosry's previous idea but does not reintroduce the
existing bug.
