Then this could become e.g.:- if (WARN_ON_ONCE(flags & ~VM_VMAP_PERMITTED_MASK)) return NULL; And would be self-documenting as to why we are disallowing flags (i.e. they are not part of the permitted vmap mask).

It might need some time to audit > for use of all the flags, though. Perhaps leave that for a later patch (I could take a look as well), but in the meantime might be worth adding a quick comment here indicating why the flag is prohibited?

Not having a top * guard compromises someone else's mappings too.
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS is just for use with vmalloc as it is tied to freeing the underlying pages. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> --- mm/vmalloc.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
