Not sure that's what's going on, from the comment and reading the code
(albeit non-exhaustively) I think you can only get positive error return
values from walk_page_range if the ops you provide do so. The hmm ones
don't, so I think this should be ok without any code changes?
Maybe a WARN_ON and patching that up for paranoia, but I don't see how
this can happen.
Cheers, Sima
