Hi Levi,


Thank you for this patch.

Nit for the subject, what about s/drect/directly/? Also, let's remove the
period at the end.

I don't think we really need to use pmdp_get_lockless() here, since we will do
this check again with the lock, and we have the fallback for the intermediate
changes.

This would cause below build warning if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not
defined.

.../mm/damon/vaddr.c:440:8: warning: unused variable 'pmde' [-Wunused-variable]
440 | pmd_t pmde;

Again, pmdp_get() might be enough?
