cmpxchg_gpte() calls get_user_pages_fast() to retrieve the number of pages and the respective struct page to map in the kernel virtual address space. This doesn't work if get_user_pages_fast() is invoked with a userspace virtual address that's backed by PFNs outside of kernel reach (e.g., when limiting the kernel memory with mem= in the command line and using /dev/mem to map memory). If get_user_pages_fast() fails, look up the VMA that back the userspace virtual address, compute the PFN and the physical address, and map it in the kernel virtual address space with memremap().

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.
