We walk the userspace PTs to discover what mapping size was used there. However, this can race against the userspace tables being freed, and we end-up in the weeds. Thankfully, the mm code is being generous and will IPI us when doing so. So let's implement our part of the bargain and disable interrupts around the walk. This ensures that nothing terrible happens during that time. We still need to handle the removal of the page tables before the walk. For that, allow get_user_mapping_size() to return an error, and make sure this error can be propagated all the way to the the exit handler.

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.
