In mm/vmalloc.c, the function vmap_pte_range() assumes that the mapping size is aligned to PAGE_SIZE. If this assumption is violated, the loop will become infinite because the termination condition (`addr != end`) will never be met. This can lead to overwriting other VA ranges and/or random pages physically follow the page table. It's the caller's responsibility to ensure that the mapping size is aligned to PAGE_SIZE. However, the memory corruption is hard to root cause. To identify the programming error in the caller easier, check whether the mapping size is PAGE_SIZE aligned with WARN_ON_ONCE().

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 reStructuredText 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.
