This fix looks good. I also checked the other uses of walk->private, of course,
but it was only this one that was wrong.
I think this patch also belongs in -stable, because it is a simple bug fix.
For the description, well...actually, because ->range is the first element in
struct hmm_vma_walk, you probably end up with the same pointer value, both
before and after this fix. So maybe there are no symptoms to see. Maybe that's
an argument for *not* putting it in -stable, too. I'll leave that question
to more experienced people.
Either way, you can add:
