The condition is impossible and to the best of my knowledge has never triggered. We are in deep trouble if that conditions happens and we walk past the end of our allocated array. So delete the WARN_ON and the code that makes it look like the kernel can handle the case of walking past the end of it's vma_meta array.

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.
