The 'follow_huge_addr' itself just has interest on "FOLL_WRITE" struct page * follow_huge_addr(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long address, int write)
And arch/ia64 defines this function 17 years ago ...
But I found that "WARN_ON_ONCE for FOLL_GET" was introduced on 2005-10-29 by commit:
[PATCH] mm: follow_page with inner ptlock
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=deceb6cd17e6dfafe4c4f81b1b4153bc41b2cb70
- page = follow_huge_addr(mm, address, write); - if (! IS_ERR(page)) - return page; + page = follow_huge_addr(mm, address, flags & FOLL_WRITE); + if (!IS_ERR(page)) { + BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET); + goto out; + }

Then 5.19 will break for a while to wait for the final BIG patch ?
