Picking of huge_zero_page and mremapping its VMA to unaligned address also gives
the case, when the same huge page is mapped as huge page and as set of ordinary
pages in the same process.
Summing up two above cases, is there really a fundamental problem with
the functionality the patch set introduces? It looks like we already have
these cases in stable kernel supported.
Thanks,
