Check that anonymous page is not being mapped twice with read write permissions. Check that anonymous and file pages are not being erroneously shared. Since the checking is performed at the time entries are added and removed to user page tables, leaking, corruption and double mapping problems are detected synchronously.

If unsure say "n".
