It sounds like you're actually hitting this, so a backtrace would be nice. I'm a bit confused as to when why we'd try to vmap() pages that we didn't have a legitimate struct page for -- where did these addresses come from? It sounds like this is going wrong at a higher level, and we're passing entirely bogus struct page pointers around. This seems like the sort of thing DEBUG_VIRTUAL or similar should check when we initially generate the struct page pointer. > Interestingly, this abort happens even if copy_from_kernel_nofault() is > used, which is quite inconvenient for debugging purposes. I can go take a look at this, but TBH we never expect to take an address size fault to begin with, so this is arguably correct -- it's an internal consistency problem. > This patch adds a pfn_valid() check into vmap() path, so that invalid > mapping will not be created. > > RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/1/18/815 > v1: use pfn_valid() instead of adding an arch-specific > arch_vmap_page_valid().

I think the fundamental issue here is that we generate a bogus struct page pointer at all, and knowing where that came from would help to fix that.
