Do we need to unlock ptl here?

		spin_unlock(ptl);

The vma->vm_file check isn't correct in this case. You can look when
pte_to_pagemap_entry sets PM_FILE. This flag is used to detect what
pages have a file backing store and what pages are anonymous.

I was trying to integrate this new interace into CRIU and I found
one more thing that is required. We need to detect zero pages.

It should look something like this:

#define PM_SCAN_FLAGS(wt, file, present, swap, zero)   \
       ((wt) | ((file) << 1) | ((present) << 2) | ((swap) << 3) | ((zero) << 4))


bitmap = PM_SCAN_FLAGS(is_written, page && !PageAnon(page),
		      pte_present(ptent), is_swap_pte(ptent),
		      pte_present(ptent) && is_zero_pfn(pte_pfn(ptent)));

Thanks,
