We assumed that vm_mmap() would reject an attempt to mmap past the end of the filp (our object), but we were wrong. Applications that tried to use the mmap beyond the end of the object would be greeted by a SIGBUS. After this patch, those applications will be told about the error on creating the mmap, rather than at a random moment on later access.

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.
