page structs are not guaranteed to be contiguous for gigantic pages.
The routine copy_huge_page_from_user can encounter gigantic pages, yet it
assumes page structs are contiguous when copying pages from user space.
Since page structs for the target gigantic page are not contiguous,
the data copied from user space could overwrite other pages not
associated with the gigantic page and cause data corruption.
Non-contiguous page structs are generally not an issue. However, they can
exist with a specific kernel configuration and hotplug operations. For
example: Configure the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and
!CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Then, hotplug add memory for the area where the
gigantic page will be allocated.

userfaultfd support")
