Hi Lehui,

As I said, I don't understand mm/, so can't comment, but...

I was thinking about

WARN_ON(!pte_none(*new_pte))

at the start of the main loop.

Obviously not to fix the problem, but rather to make it more explicit.

This matches the similar xxx_none() checks in the move_pgt_entry() paths,
say, move_normal_pmd().
