When walking the page tables at a given level, and if the start address for the range isn't aligned for that level, we propagate the misalignment on each iteration at that level. This results in the walker ignoring a number of entries (depending on the original misalignment) on each subsequent iteration. Properly aligning the address before the next iteration addresses this issue.

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.
