VFIO allows a device driver to resolve a fault by mapping a MMIO
range. This can be subsequently result in user_mem_abort() to
try and compute a huge mapping based on the MMIO pfn, which is
a sure recipe for things to go wrong.
Instead, force a PTE mapping when the pfn faulted in has a device
mapping.

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.
