At the moment, bad_kuap_fault() reports a fault only if a bad access
to userspace occurred while access to userspace was not granted.
But if a fault occurs for a write outside the allowed userspace
segment(s) that have been unlocked, bad_kuap_fault() fails to
detect it and the kernel loops forever in do_page_fault().
Fix it by checking that the accessed address is within the allowed
range.

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.
