Is this the hugepage case? Neither of your patches actually touched
that, so I've forgotten the details.

Irrelevant special case in that

(a) an extra COW shouldn't be a correctness issue unless somebody
does something horribly wrong (and obviously the code that hasn't
taken the mmap_lock for writing are then examples of that)

and

(b) it's not a performance issue either unless you can find a real
load that does it.

Hmm?
