Hi Baoquan,

Thanks for working on this. I tested your patches out by using drgn to
debug /proc/kcore. I have a kernel module[1] to do a vm_map_ram() call
and print the virtual address to the kernel log so I can try to read
that memory address in drgn. When I did this test, I got a panic on the
above line of code.

        .vm = (struct vm_struct *)0x3,
        .flags = (unsigned long)3,
}

Since flags is in a union, it shadows "vm" and causes the condition to
be true, and then get_vm_area_size() tries to follow the pointer defined
by flags. I'm not sure if the fix is to have flags be a separate field
inside vmap_area, or to have more careful handling in the vread path.

Thanks,
Stephen
