When this code was consolidated the intention was that the VMA would become backed by anonymous zero pages after the zap_vma_pte - however this very subtly relied on setting the vm_ops = NULL and clearing the VM_SHARED bits to transform the VMA into an anonymous VMA. Since the vm_ops was removed this broke. Now userspace gets a SIGBUS if it touches the vma after disassociation. Instead of converting the VMA to anonymous provide a fault handler that puts a zero'd page into the VMA when user-space touches it after disassociation.

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.
