In a rare case, flush_tlb_kernel_range() could be called with a start higher than the end. In vm_remove_mappings(), in case page_address() returns 0 for all pages (for example they were all in highmem), _vm_unmap_aliases() will be called with start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0 and flush = 1. If at the same time, the vmalloc purge operation is triggered by something else while the current operation is between remove_vm_area() and _vm_unmap_aliases(), then the vm mapping just removed will be already purged. In this case the call of vm_unmap_aliases() may not find any other mappings to flush and so end up flushing start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0. So only set flush = true if we find something in the direct mapping that we need to flush, and this way this can't happen.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
