Hi, Lv
Sorry for my late feedback on the patch, one minor nit below:

We should only check the low memory, otherwise the highmem address might
bring unexpected behavior in this function, I think we should add:
	if (pointer  >= PAGE_OFFSET)
		return false;

Convert pointer to char* first?
end_pfn = page_to_pfn(virt_to_page((char*)pointer + length));

Thanks!
