This is somewhat wasteful, as it increases the mm struct even if the process doesn't use vrange syscall. So a later patch will provide dynamically allocated vroots. One of note on this patch is vrange_fork. Since we do allocations while holding a lock on the vrange, its possible it could deadlock with direct reclaim's purging logic. For this reason, vrange_fork uses GFP_NOIO for its allocations. If vrange_fork fails, it isn't a critical problem. Since the result is the child process's pages won't be volatile/purgable, which could cause additional memory pressure, but won't cause problematic application behavior (since volatile pages are only purged at the kernels' discretion). This is thought to be more desirable then having fork fail.
