Hi Andrew,

I've gone through the Sashiko findings:

- Patch 1 (find_num_contig): Over-interpretation. No new hugetlbfs hstate
is added. The extra sizes are only used by init_mm kernel mappings via.

- Patch 5/6 (NULL page): Invalid input. vmap() expects a fully populated
array of valid struct page pointers.

- Patch 6 (32-bit count << PAGE_SHIFT overflow): Pre-existing. This was
already discussed in the V3 thread, and a separate fix was proposed
there.

Thanks,
Wen
