Jann reported a race between munmap() and unmap_mapping_range(), where unmap_mapping_range() will no-op once unmap_vmas() has unlinked the VMA; however munmap() will not yet have invalidated the TLBs. Therefore unmap_mapping_range() will complete while there are still (stale) TLB entries for the specified range. Mitigate this by force flushing TLBs for VM_PFNMAP ranges.

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.
