mwriteprotect_range() errors out if [start, end) doesn't fall in one VMA. We are facing a use case where multiple VMAs are present in one range of interest. For example, the following pseudocode reproduces the error which we are trying to fix: - Allocate memory of size 16 pages with PROT_NONE with mmap - Register userfaultfd - Change protection of the first half (1 to 8 pages) of memory to PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE. This breaks the memory area in two VMAs. - Now UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP on the whole memory of 16 pages errors out. This is a simple use case where user may or may not know if the memory area has been divided into multiple VMAs. We need an implementation which doesn't disrupt the already present users. So keeping things simple, stop going over all the VMAs if any one of the VMA hasn't been registered in WP mode. While at it, remove the un-needed error check as well.

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.
