Wow; I wasn't expecting this to be put together so quickly, thanks for
doing this!

For both the above comments, when/where is kfence_handle_page_fault()
called with regs set to NULL? I couldn't spot that in this patch, so
unless I mised it I'm guessing that's somewhere outside of the patch
context?

If this is a case we don't expect to happen, maybe add a WARN_ON_ONCE()?

Thanks,
Mark.
