Subject[PATCH 2/2] mm/page_vma_mapped: page table boundary is already guaranteed
Date
The check here is to guarantee pvmw->address iteration is limited in one
page table boundary. To be specific, here the address range should be in
one PMD_SIZE.

If my understanding is correct, this check is already done in the above
check:

address >= __vma_address(page, vma) + PMD_SIZE

The boundary check here seems not necessary.
