Hello:

This patch was applied to riscv/linux.git (for-next)
by Andrew Morton [off-list ref]:

zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas.  While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma.  In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas.  When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair
with the new vma should be made.
