We should not walk/touch page tables outside of VMA boundaries when holding only the mmap sem in read mode. Evil user space can modify the VMA layout just before this function runs and e.g., trigger races with page table removal code since commitdd2283f260("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap"). The pure prescence in our guest_to_host radix tree does not imply that there is a VMA. Further, we should not allocate page tables (via get_locked_pte()) outside of VMA boundaries: if evil user space decides to map hugetlbfs to these ranges, bad things will happen because we suddenly have PTE or PMD page tables where we shouldn't have them. Similarly, we have to check if we suddenly find a hugetlbfs VMA, before calling get_locked_pte(). Note that gmap_discard() is different: zap_page_range()->unmap_single_vma() makes sure to stay within VMA boundaries.

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.
