Re: [PATCH 2/8] mm: use walk_page_range() instead of custom page table walking code

Hello,

sorry for the long delay.

original check_pte_range() has following logic.

        orig_pte = pte = pte_offset_map_lock(vma->vm_mm, pmd, addr, &ptl);
        do {
                struct page *page;
                int nid;

                if (!pte_present(*pte))
                        continue;
                page = vm_normal_page(vma, addr, *pte);
                if (!page)
                        continue;
                /*
                 * vm_normal_page() filters out zero pages, but there might
                 * still be PageReserved pages to skip, perhaps in a VDSO.
                 * And we cannot move PageKsm pages sensibly or safely yet.
                 */
                if (PageReserved(page) || PageKsm(page))
                        continue;
                gather_stats(page, private, pte_dirty(*pte));

Why did you drop a lot of check? Is it safe?

Other parts looks good to me.
