I'd rather write this as:

struct folio *orig_folio = filemap_get_folio(vma->vm_file->f_mapping,
index);
struct page *orig_page;

if (IS_ERR(orig_folio))
return false;
orig_page = folio_file_page(folio, index);


Willy, you read my mind. I was staring at that code and thought "there must be an easier way using pages", and folio_file_page() was the missing piece.

Thanks!
