commit a739e6b557af ("mm: vmalloc: WARN_ON if mapping size is not PAGE_SIZE aligned") put the check in vmap_pte_range(), which is too late, because the upper levels may already have installed page tables for a range that is rejected anyway. The pte loop maps whole pages and stops only when addr lands exactly on end. An unaligned end lets addr jump over it and the loop keeps mapping past the range. An unaligned start maps the page below the range and usually misses end too. Such a range is never a legitimate request, and the corruption it leaves behind is hard to attribute to the caller afterwards, so bug out on addr and end at the entry of vmap_range_noflush() and drop the check from vmap_pte_range().
