Ouch, sorry about that! The patch looks good to me so:

Reviewed-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@xxxxxxx>

I wonder an aditional Fixes: should be added for Commit 2ba3e6947aed
("mm/vmalloc: track which page-table levels were modified") though? That's the
one that added the "*mask |= PGTBL_PTE_MODIFIED;" which would have also been
skipped if an error occured before this patch.

Thanks,
Ryan
