Something like this?

Subject: [PATCH] mm, page_vma_mapped: Fix pointer arithmetics in check_pte()
Tetsuo reported random crashes under memory pressure on 32-bit x86
system and tracked down to change that introduced
page_vma_mapped_walk().
The root cause of the issue is the faulty pointer math in check_pte().
As ->pte may point to an arbitrary page we have to check that they are
belong to the section before doing math. Otherwise it may lead to weird
results.
It wasn't noticed until now as mem_map[] is virtually contiguous on flatmem or
vmemmap sparsemem. Pointer arithmetic just works against all 'struct page'
pointers. But with classic sparsemem, it doesn't.
Let's restructure code a bit and add necessary check.
