    Question.

    While writing memory unplug, I noticed this code.
    ==
    static int
    fixup_anon_page(pte_t *pte, unsigned long start, unsigned long end, void *priv)
    {
    struct vm_area_struct *vma = priv;
    struct page *page = vm_normal_page(vma, start, *pte);

    if (page && PageAnon(page))
    page->index = linear_page_index(vma, start);

    return 0;
    }

    static int fixup_anon_pages(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
    {
    struct mm_walk walk = {
    .pte_entry = fixup_anon_page,
    };

    return walk_page_range(vma->vm_mm,
    vma->vm_start, vma->vm_end, &walk, vma);
    }
    ==

    I think that 'pte' passed to fixup_anon_page() by walk_page_range()
    is not guaranteed to be 'Present'.

    Then, vm_normal_page() will show print_bad_pte().

    If this never occur now, I'll add my own check code for memory migration by kernel here.

    (Sorry, I can't find who should be CCed.)
