The bounds check used the uninitialized variable vaddr, it should use
the given parameter kaddr instead. When using the uninitialized value
the compiler assumed it to be 0 and optimized this function to just
return 0 in all cases.
This should make the function check the range of the given address and
only do the page map check in case it is in the expected range of
virtual addresses.

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.
