[PATCH v2 0/2] mm/vmalloc: harden remap_vmalloc_range_partial against NULL pages

[Ye Liu]

remap_vmalloc_range_partial() passes vmalloc_to_page()'s result to
vm_insert_page() unchecked, oopsing via page_folio() if the page is
NULL. The NULL case never happens today because VM_USERMAP areas keep
every page mapped, but that assumption is nowhere checked.

Patch 1 drops VM_DMA_COHERENT from the allow-list -- a dead entry (no
caller maps a DMA-coherent area through this path).

Patch 2 fails the mapping with -EINVAL instead of oopsing if
vmalloc_to_page() ever returns NULL, with a WARN to mark the broken
invariant.

Patch 1 is a behavior change (no in-tree caller affected)
Patch 2 only changes a failure path that cannot be reached today. 
The two are independent.
