But it is possible to subsequently call vunmap_range() on a sub-range of the mapped memory, which partially overlaps a pmd or pud. In this case, vmalloc unmaps the entire pmd or pud so that the no-overlapping portion is also unmapped. Clearly that would have a bad outcome, but it's not something that any callers do today as far as I can tell. So I guess it's just expected that callers will not do this. However, it would be useful to know if this happened in future; let's add a warning to cover the eventuality.
