userptr may cross two VMAs if the forked child process (not call exec after fork) malloc buffer, then free it, and then malloc larger size buf, kerenl will create new VMA adjacent to old VMA which was cloned from parent process, some pages of userptr are in the first VMA, the rest pages are in the second VMA. HMM expects range only have one VMA, loop over all VMAs in the address range, create multiple ranges to handle this case. See is_mergeable_anon_vma in mm/mmap.c for details.

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.
