Patch Review

**Review:**

This adds important defensive programming by checking for NULL pages:

```c
+	page = pages[page_offset];
+	if (drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(dev, !page))
+		goto out;
```

**Concern 1 - Error path behavior:**
The patch changes the default return value to `VM_FAULT_SIGBUS`:
```c
-	vm_fault_t ret;
+	vm_fault_t ret = VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
```

This means if the function takes an early error path, it returns SIGBUS. However, looking at the existing error cases:
```c
if (page_offset >= num_pages || drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(dev, !shmem->pages) ||
    shmem->madv < 0)
    goto out;
```

**Question:** Is VM_FAULT_SIGBUS the correct return for all these cases? The `madv < 0` case indicates the object was marked as "don't need", which traditionally should return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS. But are the other cases correctly signaling a bus error to userspace?

**Concern 2 - Variable declaration style:**
```c
+	pgoff_t page_offset = vmf->pgoff - vma->vm_pgoff; /* page offset within VMA */
```

The comment is helpful, but mixing initialized and uninitialized variable declarations:
```c
+	vm_fault_t ret = VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
+	struct page **pages = shmem->pages;
+	pgoff_t page_offset = vmf->pgoff - vma->vm_pgoff;
+	struct page *page;
+	unsigned long pfn;
```

This is acceptable but slightly inconsistent with kernel style which often groups declarations.

**Concern 3 - WARN_ON vs error handling:**
```c
+	if (drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(dev, !page))
+		goto out;
```

This uses `drm_WARN_ON_ONCE` which is appropriate for "should never happen" conditions. However, **when can `page` be NULL?** If this is a legitimate error condition (e.g., race with page eviction), WARN might be too noisy. If it's truly never supposed to happen, this is correct.

**Verdict:** ⚠ Needs clarification on the NULL page scenario and whether WARN is appropriate
