Virtual address alignment is essential in ensuring correct clearing for all intermediate level pgtable entries and freeing associated pgtable pages. An unaligned address can end up randomly freeing pgtable page that potentially still contains valid mappings. Hence also check it's alignment along with existing phys_addr check.

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.
