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.

We call get_region_id() without validating the ea value. That means with a wrong ea value we hit the BUG as below. kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/hash.h:129! Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries CPU: 0 PID: 3937 Comm: access_tests Not tainted 5.1.0 .... NIP [c00000000007ba20] do_slb_fault+0x70/0x320 LR [c00000000000896c] data_access_slb_common+0x15c/0x1a0 Fix this by removing the VM_BUG_ON. All callers make sure the returned region id is valid and error out otherwise.
