[PATCH] buildid: validate page-backed file before parsing build ID
From: Jinchao Wang
Date: Tue Dec 23 2025 - 05:32:25 EST
__build_id_parse() only works on page-backed storage. Its helper paths
eventually call mapping->a_ops->read_folio(), so explicitly reject VMAs
that do not map a regular file or lack valid address_space operations.
