But hugetlb_reserve_pages() doesn't do much with the vma: hugetlb_vma_lock_alloc(vma); [..] vma->vm_private_data = vma_lock; Manipulates the private which should already exist in prepare: Check non-share a few times: if (!vma || vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE) { if (vma && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE) && h_cg) { if (!vma || vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE) { And does this resv_map stuff: set_vma_resv_map(vma, resv_map); set_vma_resv_flags(vma, HPAGE_RESV_OWNER); [..] set_vma_private_data(vma, (unsigned long)map); Which is also just manipulating the private data. So it looks to me like it should be refactored so that hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns the priv pointer to set in the VMA instead of accepting vma as an argument. Maybe just pass in the desc instead? Then no need to introduce complete. I think it is probably better to try to avoid using complete except for filling PTEs.. Jason
