uwrite() works within the pseudo-mapping and extends it as necessary without needing the file descriptor (fd) parameter passed to it. Similarly, ulseek() doesn't need its fd parameter. These parameters were only added because the functions bear a conceptual resemblance to write() and lseek(). Worse, they obscure the fact that at the time uwrite() and ulseek() are called fd_map is not a valid file descriptor. Remove the unused file descriptor parameters that make it look like fd_map is still valid.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
