[PATCH] mm/nommu: Reject wrapping ranges in access_remote_vm()
From: Anastasios Papagiannis
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 02:45:23 EST
The NOMMU implementation of access_process_vm() rejects address ranges
whose end wraps around, but access_remote_vm() bypasses this check even
though both functions delegate to __access_remote_vm().
Move the wraparound check into __access_remote_vm() so it applies to
both entry points.
This is originally reported in [1].
