Ira Weiny ca18f6ea01 mm/highmem: Add VM_BUG_ON() to mem*_page() calls
Add VM_BUG_ON bounds checks to ensure the newly lifted and created page
memory operations do not result in corrupted data in neighbor pages.[1][2]

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.
