In case of 5-level paging, the kernel does not place any mapping above 47-bit, unless userspace explicitly asks for it. Userspace can request an allocation from the full address space by specifying the mmap address hint above 47-bit. Nicholas noticed that the current implementation violates this interface: If user space requests a mapping at the end of the 47-bit address space with a length which causes the mapping to cross the 47-bit border (DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW), then the vma is partially in the address space below and above. Sanity check the mmap address hint so that start and end of the resulting vma are on the same side of the 47-bit border. If that's not the case fall back to the code path which ignores the address hint and allocate from the regular address space below 47-bit. To make the checks consistent, mask out the address hints lower bits (either PAGE_MASK or huge_page_mask()) instead of using ALIGN() which can push them up to the next boundary.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
