GCC is very likely to read the pagetables just once and cache them in the local stack or in a register, but it is can also decide to re-read the pagetables. The problem is that the pagetable in those places can change from under gcc. With THP/hugetlbfs the pmd (and pgd for hugetlbfs giga pages) can change under gup_fast. The pages won't be freed untill we finish gup fast because we have irq disabled and we free these pages via rcu callback.
