Normally this program will not cause kernel crashes. But before the munmap system call returns to user mode, a potential task_numa_work() for numa balancing could be added and executed. In this scenario, since the child process has no vma after munmap, the vma_next() in task_numa_work() will return a null pointer even if the vma iterator restarts from 0. Recheck the vma pointer before dereferencing it in task_numa_work().

Normalmente, este programa no causará fallas del kernel. Pero antes de que la llamada al sistema munmap vuelva al modo de usuario, se podría agregar y ejecutar una posible task_numa_work() para el equilibrio de NUMA. En este escenario, dado que el proceso secundario no tiene ningún vma después de munmap, vma_next() en task_numa_work() devolverá un puntero nulo incluso si el iterador vma se reinicia desde 0. Vuelva a verificar el puntero vma antes de desreferenciarlo en task_numa_work().
