This patch adds a conditional lock/unlock: pte = walk->no_vma ? pte_offset_map(pmd, addr) : pte_offset_map_lock(walk->mm, pmd, addr, &ptl); ... if (!walk->no_vma) spin_unlock(ptl); pte_unmap(pte); I'm not sure how to match sparse happy about that. Is the only option to have two versions of the walk_pte_range() function? One which takes the lock and one which doesn't.

Or just ignore the sparse false positive without complicating the code further.

walk_page_range_novma() can be used to walk page tables or the kernel or for firmware. These page tables may contain entries that are not backed by a struct page and so it isn't (in general) possible to take the PTE lock for the pte_entry() callback. So update walk_pte_range() to only take the lock when no_vma==false and add a comment explaining the difference to walk_page_range_novma().
