Hi Muhammad! I'm really sorry for diving in such late (unfortunatelly too busy to
step in yet). Anyway, while in general such interface looks reasonable here are
few moments which really bothers me: as far as I undertstand you don't need
vzalloc here, plain vmalloc should works as well since you copy only filled
results back to userspace. Next -- there is no restriction on vec_len parameter,
is not here a door for DoS from userspace? Say I could start a number of ioctl
on same pagemap and try to allocate very big amount of vec_len in summay causing
big pressure on kernel's memory. Or I miss something obvious here?
