[ Upstream commit 50b7d85680086126d7bd91dae81d57d4cb1ab6b7 ]
ramfs needs to check that pages are both physically contiguous and
contiguous in the file. If the page cache happens to have, eg, page A for
index 0 of the file, no page for index 1, and page A+1 for index 2, then
an mmap of the first two pages of the file will succeed when it should
fail.

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.
